Gravedigger

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I dropped out of school and I couldn't find a job So I started diggin' holes Now I've been weary for fifty-five years So I guess that's why I'm alone And my dreams ain't been right for the past decade But I still pray my soul to keep Just stick around 'til the sun goes down And you'll know just what I mean [Verse 2] Well, that crow sits on that fence post Talkin' trash like he always does And that preacher keeps on preachin' A coyote howls to the moon above And I don't have many friends, but the ones I do Don't really say too much Because that crow sits on that fence post Talkin' trash like he always does, hey [Verse 3] In the back left corner by the old pine tree There's a man I buried for first degree He told me his cheatin' wife was a whore And how the electric chair really lit up his world And all I've got is a shovel and these calloused hands And I've dug every grave on this piece of land Hell, I had a love once, but I buried her too And it's not hard livin', it's just hard on you
