"Down in a Hole" is the fourth song from the 1992 album Dirt by Alice in Chains. The song was written by Jerry Cantrell about one of his previous girlfriends. He was at first hesitant to present the song to the band, feeling that the song was too soft, but after a positive response from the band, they followed through and recorded it. It was also perfomed unplugged on their Unplugged performance.
[edit] Cover Versions
The song was covered by professional baseball player Bronson Arroyo on his 2005 album, Covering the Bases, which lists the song as "Down in the Hole."
