Dirt on the cuffs, it comes around Watch the river run on the sunny side of town Heavy hammer pegging the line the roaring sound With the city spread on the mind, you read their mind And they're digging
Dig in the ground The ground the hot digging deeper Dig in the ground They dig, they dig Digging deeper Dig in the ground The ground, the ground Getting deeper Dig in the ground The ground, the ground Get in deeper
Ah, who's on the round, the round chalk 'em up I schlepped around, around to the corner shop Oh no, they smile, they smile they smile, they smile for him And that that that that, that's when the penny drops
Deep in the ground The ground, the ground Comes for him Deep in the ground The ground, the ground Comes for him Deep in the ground The ground, the ground Comes for him Deep in the ground The ground, the ground Comes for him
Rolling around and back to the corner shop Blue plastic bag, it's packed on the countertop He knows the smile, he knows when it's coming When you're deep in the ground, you dig, dig
Oh, dirt on the cuffs, it comes around Roll a cigarette on the empty side of town Where the birds dip eying the ground as worms come out With the morning fresh on the mind, he read their mind And they're digging
Dig in the ground The ground the hot digging deeper Dig in the ground They dig, they dig Digging deeper Dig in the ground The ground, the ground Getting deeper Dig in the ground The ground, the ground Get in deeper
Rolling around and back to the corner shop He knows the line the shopkeeper always drops He knows the smile, he knows when it's coming When you're deep in the ground, dig!
Ah ha, he's hotter than a car bonnet You could light a cigarette on him Ah ha, he's hotter than a car bonnet Oh, you could cook a whole omelette
