A FRIEND OF MINE
BOUGHT HIMSELF
A SHOVEL
SAID I'M GONNA
TUNNEL ME A MINE
HE SET OUT
TO BE A RICH MAN
HAPPINESS IS WHAT
HE THOUGHT HE'D FIND
GOT IN TOO DEEP
TO SEE THE DIAMONDS
DOWN TOO DARK
TO SEE THE GOLD
NOW HE WON'T
LET GO OF THE SHOVEL
AND HE CAN'T
DIG OUT OF THE HOLE
DEEPER AND DEEPER
HE'S GOIN' DOWN
DRIVIN' HIS FUTURE
RIGHT INTO THE GROUND
HE THINKS HE'S CLOSER
THE FURTHER HE GOES
BUT HE'S STILL
ON THE BOTTOM
AND HE CAN'T
DIG OUT OF THE HOLE
I TRIED TO THROW
THE MAN A LIFELINE
I TRIED TO SEND HIM
DOWN A ROPE
I DON'T THINK
HE HEARS ME CALLIN'
BUT EVERY DAY
I PRAY AND I HOPE
SOMEHOW HE FINALLY
GETS THE MESSAGE
EVERY SPADE OF DIRT
HE THROWS
ONLY GETS HIM
CLOSER TO THE DEVIL
AND HE CAN'T
DIG OUT OF THE HOLE
DEEPER AND DEEPER
HE'S GOIN' DOWN
DRIVIN' HIS FUTURE
RIGHT INTO THE GROUND
HE THINKS HE'S CLOSER
THE FURTHER HE GOES
BUT HE'S STILL
ON THE BOTTOM
AND HE CAN'T
DIG OUT OF THE HOLE
MAYBE WE COULD
LEARN A LITTLE LESSON
MAYBE THIS'LL
SHINE A LITTLE LIGHT
THERE'S NO HEALTHY
WAY TO MESS WITH
THE LINE BETWEEN
WRONG AND RIGHT
USE THE ONE CHANCE
YOU BEEN GIVEN
'CAUSE ONCE
YOU'RE IN THE GROUND
AND COLD
IT'S TOO LATE
TO START LIVIN'
YOU SEE YOU CAN'T
DIG OUT OF THE HOLE
DEEPER AND DEEPER
HE'S GOIN' DOWN
DRIVIN' HIS FUTURE
RIGHT INTO THE GROUND
HE THINKS HE'S CLOSER
THE FURTHER HE GOES
BUT HE'S STILL
ON THE BOTTOM
AND HE CAN'T
DIG OUT OF THE HOLE
IT'S HELL ON THE BOTTOM
AND YA CAN'T DIG
OUT OF THE HOLE
