Lyrics
I hear the thunder
I see the lighting
Feel the earth move a little
When it’s frightening
I see the rain drops dancing on the pavement
In that hollow ground
I hear hound dogs
I see the fretters
Begging on their knees until they get it
Looking for a hole they can dwell in
In the hollow ground
In the hollow ground
Where there aint no sound
And you burn your flame
Until it’s over
In the hollow ground
No one else around
In that buried pain
That you uncover
Is the hollow ground
I see the freight train
smell the burnt coal
Hear the the clickery clack that’ll kill ya’ll
I see the old man’s sipping on his liquor
In the hollow ground
I hear the raven
Know the scarecrow
Coming around until he gets hold
Smother that cough but you go down in a hole
In that hollow ground
