The Real Country Dark Lyrics

As I started down the street one day
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"

Which makes it easier to get along
When you're feeling real low down
And kinda tired of just hangin' around
In the town of Caroline
I walked up and down those
Those powerlines (*2)
Someone is hiding underneath the stairs
I try to tell myself that no one is there
But in the real country dark
Someone is dying underneath the stars
So I could just say fair thee well my friend
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
