Diggin' Holes

Well, I oughta be workin' in a coal mine Neck deep in black lung soot Swingin' a pick at that mountainside Halfway to China I think I would Fit right in where the sun don't shine She's better off alone Yeah I oughta be workin' in a coal mine Lord knows I'm good at diggin' holes Well I oughta be drillin' for that black gold Swimmin' in that Texas tea I could make a killin' all on my own Sendin' my misfortune to her family 'cause when I hit rock bottom The deeper down I go Oh I oughta be drillin' for that black gold Lord knows I'm good at diggin' holes Well I oughta be workin' for the railroad Sweat pourin' off my back Haulin' away a heavy load It's a far cry from heaven down that cold steel track And I can't take her with me She's better off without Yeah I oughta be workin' for the railroad Lord knows I'm good at leavin' town When it comes to love I ain't got a clue What this heart of mine is supposed to do It tears me up inside what I put her through Still she won't let go Well I oughta make my livin' in a graveyard Over my head in dirt If I had a shovel I'd bury this heart Six feet down and my last words would be I never meant to hurt you I'm better off a ghost Oh I oughta make my living in a graveyard Lord knows I'm good at diggin' holes Oh I oughta make my living in a graveyard Lord knows I'm good at diggin' holes
