Danville Lyrics

Let him sit in the kitchen
Til the red rooster crows
And drink bootleg whiskey
Til he loses control
Let him find him somebody
He can treat like a dog
Let the house fall down
And let him grow old

But she aint goin back
She aint goin back
She aint goin back to danville
Til she's dead

He got the whole town believin
That she was to blame
This towns filled with people
With his last name

She's heard that the devil
Lives way down below
But the devils little brother
Lives on old danville road

But she aint goin back
She aint goin back
She aint goin back to danville
Til she's dead

Now her mommas tombstone
Sits high on a hill
She been gone seven years
She misses her still

But one fine day
They'll be together again
Shell go back to danville
If they'll let her in

But she aint goin back
She aint goin back
She aint goin back to danville
Til she's dead

But she aint goin back
She aint goin back
She aint goin back to danville
Til she's dead

Cover art for Danville lyrics by Chris Knight

This song is pretty strait forward by I think it is about a man and woman who were once lovers but the man beat the woman so she left the town of danville to get away from her abusive partner. The only time she will return to danvile is when she has died and will be buried in danville because that is her home town.

This song is very slow and melodic and gives you a good sense of how this woman feels.

My Interpretation

I think it's her father it's referring to.
