Lyrics

[Verse 1] My daddy was a lawyer who sold salvation to the church Your money's no good in heaven, but it's great down here on earth So let's get down in the dirt Let's get down in the dirt [Verse 2] My granddad was a scholar in the school of heartbreak and hard work He didn't believe in heaven or damnation being worse He's laid down in the dirt He laid down in the dirt [Chorus] It can't be that we're the only ones Born out of this ever-loving mud It can't be that we're the only ones That grеw up from this ever-loving sun [Verse 3] My mama was no angel, shе was more than just a nurse She thought it was a charity to keep us kids from getting hurt Can't stay clean in the dirt Life is mean on this earth [Verse 4] I have no occupation, but I have some sense of worth All the flowers blossom from what goes on in the dirt So I get down in the dirt Let's get down in the dirt [Chorus] It can't be that we're the only ones Born out of this ever-loving mud It can't be that we're the only ones That grew up from this ever-loving sun [Bridge] They say that love is just the thing to save a man It's not so shallow, you must dig to bring it out So let's get down in the dirt Let's get down in the dirt [Outro] They say that love is just the thing to save a man It's not so shallow, you must dig to bring it out So let's get down in the dirt Let's get down in the dirt
