Real Country Dark Lyrics

"Real Country Dark" - Neal Casal - The Sun Rises Here - 1998
Intro - Am | Am | G | G | Am | Am | G | G |
As I started down the street one day
Am G * (walkup on 5th string to C)
A man came up to me, and he did say
You can't spend your time all alone
I said, what do you think you know
In the winter on my discontent
Am G * (walkup on 5th string to C)
Solace came and solace quickly went
So I tried to settle down
In some long forgotten town
But I just could not escape myself
Am G * (walkup on 5th string to C)
I probably could have used a little help
But as usual I refused
'Cause help to me always just
It felt like abuse
It felt like abuse
So I put myself up on a cross
Am G * (walkup on 5th string to C)
I made some noise, but could not.. get across
No one could hear all my cries
So I cut the rope and apologized
For all the damage I had done
Am G * (walkup on 5th string to C)
'Cause I was just a friend to.. everyone
Who just did not know right from wrong
Which makes it easier to.. get along
When your feeling real low down
Am G * (walkup on 5th string to C)
And kinda tired of just.. hanging around
In the town of Caroline
I walked up and down those
Those power lines
Those power lines
Someone's hiding underneath the stairs
Am G * (walkup on 5th string to C)
I try to tell myself that.. no-ones there
But in the real country dark
Someone is dying under..neath the stars
So I could just say fair thee well my friend
Am G * (walkup on 5th string to C)
But just in case we never.. meet again
I'm hiding something in the ground
And only you know where it
It can be found
It can be found,oh yeah
