theres a place, theres a place, that i never should have been

through the hills,
through the hills,
cross the holler, round the bend,

theres a place,
theres a place,
that i should have never been,

i met a pretty girl,
sally may was her name,
and since that awful night,
my lifes never been the same,

through the hills,
through the hills,
cross the holler, round the bend,
theres a place,
theres a place,
that i should have never been,

it was tuesday night,
was nine thirty, was downtown,
thought id have a beer,
and show myself around,

i was sitting at the bar,
as lonesome as can be,
when the redhead cross the bar,
started smiling back at me,

i ordered up a beer,
and thought i'd take a chance,
made my way across the bar,
to ask that girl to dance,

through the hills,
through the hills,
cross the holler, round the bend,

theres a place,
theres a place,
that i should have never been,

one dance turned into two,
then we shut down the bar,
she said follow me,
as i walked out to my car,

we got to her house,
and hopped right in the bed,
oh how lucky a man was i,
with this pretty red head,

just when we were,
starting to have some fun,
i looked up and saw,
her husband with a gun,

through the hills,
through the hills,
cross the holler, round the bend,

theres a place,
theres a place,
that i should have never been,

he began to scream,
and she began to cry,
and fearful for my life,
laying there was i,

when he turned his head,
out the door i ran,
running away,
just as fast as i can,

through the hills,
through the hills,
cross the holler, round the bend,

theres a place,
theres a place,
that i should have never been,

when i made it to my car,
i thought the coast was clean,
but i couldnt ignore the sound,
of her awful scream,

through the hills,
through the hills,
cross the holler, round the bend,

theres a place,
theres a place,
that i should have never been,

so i reached into the car,
and i pulled out my gun,
and ever since that night,
ive been out here on the run,

through the hills,
through the hills,
cross the holler, round the bend,

theres a place,
theres a place,
that i should have never been,

through the hills,
through the hills,
cross the holler, round the bend,

theres a place,
theres a place,
that i never should have been,
