|
You saw a sign on a pick up truck |
|
You bought a guitar with a borrowed buck - |
|
And you dig it, and you dig it |
|
They liked your songs |
|
they were hot for you |
|
You got the job |
|
there was work to do - |
|
And you dig it, and you dig it |
|
But waiting |
|
there was someone waiting for you |
|
Claiming a piece of everything that you do |
|
It seems I've heard your story all before |
|
Someone's standing knocking at your door |
|
The early morning wake up call - |
|
Your bags are packed and in the hall |
|
The managers ran off with all |
|
the money that you made |
|
You hit on the stage nearly every night |
|
You worked around till you get it right - |
|
And you dig it, and you dig it |
|
And then you signed for a record deal |
|
And off you go on the music wheel - |
|
And you dig it, and you dig it |
|
But waiting |
|
there was someone waiting for you |
|
Claiming a piece of everything that you do |
|
It seems I've heard your story all before |
|
Someone's standing knocking at your door |
|
The early morning wake up call - |
|
Your bags are packed and in the hall |
|
The managers ran off with all |
|
the money that you made |
|
You made the charts and all the |
|
hangers on were hanging on |
|
Flashing knives behind your back |
|
living in your money sack |
|
And you were thinking you got it made |
|
You do the tours and the interviews |
|
You meet the press and you're in the news - |
|
And you dig it, and you dig it |
|
You hear your song on the radio |
|
You see your face on the TV shows |
|
And you dig it, and you dig it |
|
Waiting |
|
there was someone waiting for you |
|
Claiming a piece of everything that you do |
|
It seems I've heard your story all before |
|
Someone's standing knocking at your door |
|
Your record isn't selling well |
|
the tickets to your shows don't sell |
|
You look around and suddenly |
|
you find that you've got leprosy |
|
The taxman's coming after you |
|
your lawyer and your girlfriend too |
|
And the managers ran off with |
|
all the money that you made |
|
And you dig it, and you dig it |
|
And you dig it, and you dig it |
