Dismal Hollow Road

She followed me down dismal hollow road
I found her by the cabin door
So much to see down dismal hollow road
But she won't follow anymore

First time she left home she was crying
Her mother died, her father tried
When we met I seemed so caring
A better lie I'll never tell

Our talk was sweeter than candy
Her hopes had died, her smile tried
Intoxicated more than brandy
A better trap I'll never hide

So trusting just like all the good girls
Defenses died, adventure tried
Between the trees and rocks the road curls
A better place I'll never find

Below my house I entertained her
Innocence died, a prayer she tried
My artfulness could not sustain her
A better night I'll never spend
