Run Buddy

There's a darkness in the holler

It lives deep within the clay

It is winding, it is trying

It's coming after you someday

That wasn't enough, for old buddy

He never listened to the canyon lore

Though Smoke Hole was his home

He was searching for something more

So now run, Buddy, run

Down the mountain, grab your gun

Where you gonna be

When the darkness finally comes?

You can hide in your double wide,

You can't outrun where you're from

But old Buddy, he's gonna try

He's gonna run, Buddy, run, Buddy, run

Well the Sweetheart of Smoke Hold

Yea she stands at Old Shreve's Store

It's been years since she's seen Buddy

But she prays that he comes home

With the curls in her hair

And the whole fear of God

She sings the song of the canyon

It's the one that he forgot

When Buddy run, Buddy run

Down the mountain, grab your gun

Where you gonna be

When the darkness finally comes?

You can hide in your double wide,

You can't outrun where you're from

But old Buddy, he's gonna try

He's gonna run, Buddy, run, Buddy, run

There's a darkness in the holler

It lives deep within the clay

It is winding, it is trying

It's coming after you someday
