Eli Jones he steps out
His whole life is full of doubt
Parkersburg gave his kids a cough
Got to find a place where he can get lost
He got caught
Caught in the cove
Trying to find where
He can make his happy home
High school is over now
Get a job anyway that you know how
Find place to make your stand
Raise a family maybe work on the land
He got caught
Caught in the cove
Trying to find where
He can make his happy home
Sally Till she's speeding away
Tired of where she has to stay
All that money spent on nothing at all
Trying hard to avoid a fall
She got caught
Caught in the cove
Trying to find where
She can make her happy home
