They'll have to haul me off
Off a down slope
With some front-end loader
In a pine box
If they want me gone
If they want me lost
If they don't want my lonesome here
They'll have to haul me off
'Cause I've signed my name to the Guyandotte River
And I will remain 'til this lonesome mind sends me down her
In a pine box
'Cause I love the kind of love that it shows me
Where even if I'm sometimes slowing down
I know I'm slowing over you and, oh
I've got the mud of Big Ugly running through me
And I'll never get it off or get it out
Though I know what the rain can do
Oh, I love this town, it shows me my lonesome's written in the stars
It's written in the stars
