A friend of mine bought himself a shovel Said I鈓 gonna tunnel me a mine He set out to be a rich man Happiness is what he thought he鈊 fine
Got in to deep to see the diamond Down to dark to see the gold Now he won鈚 let go of the shovel And he can鈚 dig out of the hole
Deeper and deeper he鈙 going down Driving his future right into the ground He thinks he鈙 closer the further he goes But he鈙 still on the bottom And he can鈚 dig out of the hole I tried to throw the man a life line I tried to send him down a rope I don鈚 think he hears me calling But everyday I pray and hope Somehow he finally gets the message Every spade of dirt he throws Only gets him closer to the devil And he can鈚 dig out of the hole
repeat chorus: Maybe we could learn a little lesson Maybe this鈒l shine a little light Cause theirs no healthy way to mess with The line between wrong and right
Use the one chance you鈜e been given Cause once your in the ground and cold It鈙 too late to start livin? You see you can鈚 dig out of the hole
