You saw a sign on a pick up truck
|
You bought a guitar with a borrowed buck -
|
And you dig it, and you dig it
|
They liked your songs
|
they were hot for you
|
You got the job
|
there was work to do -
|
And you dig it, and you dig it
|
|
But waiting
|
there was someone waiting for you
|
Claiming a piece of everything that you do
|
It seems I've heard your story all before
|
Someone's standing knocking at your door
|
|
The early morning wake up call -
|
Your bags are packed and in the hall
|
The managers ran off with all
|
the money that you made
|
|
You hit on the stage nearly every night
|
You worked around till you get it right -
|
And you dig it, and you dig it
|
And then you signed for a record deal
|
And off you go on the music wheel -
|
And you dig it, and you dig it
|
|
But waiting
|
there was someone waiting for you
|
Claiming a piece of everything that you do
|
It seems I've heard your story all before
|
Someone's standing knocking at your door
|
|
The early morning wake up call -
|
Your bags are packed and in the hall
|
The managers ran off with all
|
the money that you made
|
|
You made the charts and all the
|
hangers on were hanging on
|
Flashing knives behind your back
|
living in your money sack
|
And you were thinking you got it made
|
|
You do the tours and the interviews
|
You meet the press and you're in the news -
|
And you dig it, and you dig it
|
You hear your song on the radio
|
You see your face on the TV shows
|
And you dig it, and you dig it
|
|
Waiting
|
there was someone waiting for you
|
Claiming a piece of everything that you do
|
It seems I've heard your story all before
|
Someone's standing knocking at your door
|
|
Your record isn't selling well
|
the tickets to your shows don't sell
|
You look around and suddenly
|
you find that you've got leprosy
|
The taxman's coming after you
|
your lawyer and your girlfriend too
|
And the managers ran off with
|
all the money that you made
|
|
And you dig it, and you dig it
|
And you dig it, and you dig it
|
