I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch
|
When you're down in a ditch it's a sun of a gun
|
Any fool knows you'll never get rich
|
When you're down in a ditch
|
In the Tennessee sun
|
|
All I got to show is blisters and sweat
|
Blisters and sweat and minimum pay
|
I'm just tryin' to get out of debt
|
And buddy I bet you I make it someday
|
|
Well I wish I was the man with the clipboard
|
Sittin' in the shade with an RC cola
|
Makin calls on the cellular phone
|
And yellin' down at me to keep my butt movin'
|
|
I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch
|
When you're down in a ditch it's a sun of a gun
|
Any fool knows you'll never get rich
|
When you're down in a ditch
|
In the Tennessee sun
|
|
Someday you'll see me workin' that clipboard
|
Sittin' in the cab of a cool Silverado
|
Tuned in to a country station
|
Rollin' down the window just to holler out orders
|
|
To the fool with the shovel way down in a ditch
|
When you're down in a ditch it's a son of a gun
|
Everybody knows you'll never get rich
|
Workin' down in a ditch in the Tennessee sun
|
