|
A friend of mine bought himself a shovel |
|
Said, I'm gonna tunnel me a mine |
|
He set out to be a rich man |
|
Happiness is what he thought he'd find |
|
Got in too deep to see the diamonds |
|
Down too dark to see the gold |
|
Now he won't let go of the shovel |
|
And he can't dig out of the hole |
|
Deeper and deeper he's goin' down |
|
Driving his future |
|
Right into the ground |
|
He thinks he's closer |
|
The further he goes |
|
But he's still on the bottom |
|
And he can't dig out of the hole |
|
I tried to throw the man a lifeline |
|
I tried to send him down a rope |
|
I don't think he hears me calling |
|
But every day I pray and I hope |
|
Somehow he finally gets the message |
|
Every spade of dirt he throws |
|
Only gets him close to the devil |
|
And he can't dig out of the hole |
|
Deeper and deeper he's goin' down |
|
Driving his future |
|
Right into the ground |
|
He thinks he's closer |
|
The further he goes |
|
But he's still on the bottom |
|
And he can't dig out of the hole |
|
Maybe we could learn a little lesson |
|
Maybe this'll shine a little light |
|
There's no healthy way to mess with |
|
The line between wrong and right |
|
Use the one chance you've been given |
|
'Cause once you're in the ground and cold |
|
It's too late to start livin' |
|
You see you can't dig out of the hole |
|
Deeper and deeper he's goin' down |
|
Driving his future |
|
Right into the ground |
|
He thinks he's closer |
|
The further he goes |
|
But he's still on the bottom |
|
And he can't dig out of the hole |
|
It's Hell on the bottom |
|
And you can't dig out of the hole... |
