Diggin' Holes

Diggin' Holes - Brent Cobb

Well I ought to be working in a coal mine

Neck deep in black long soot

Swinging a pick at that mountain side

Halfway to China I think I would

Fit right in where the sun don't shine

She's better off alone

Yeah I ought to be working in a coal mine

Lord knows I'm good at digging holes

Well I ought to be drilling for the black gold

Swimming in that texas tea

I could make a killing all on my own

Selling my misfortune to a family

'Cause when I hit rock bottom

The deeper down I go

Yeah I ought to be drilling for the black gold

Lord knows I'm good at digging holes

Well I ought to be working for the railroads

Sweat pouring off my back

Hauling away a heavy load

A far cry from heaven down a cold steel track

And I can't take her with me

She's better off without

Yeah I ought to be working for the railroads

Lord knows I'm good at leaving town

When it comes to love I ain't got a clue

What this heart of mine is supposed to do

It tears me up inside what I put her through

Still she won't let go

Well I ought to make my living in a graveyard

Over my head in dirt

If I had a shovel I'd bury this heart

Six feet down

And my last words would be

I never meant to hurt you

I'm better off a ghost

Yeah I ought to make my living in a graveyard

Lord knows I'm good at digging holes

Oh I ought to make my living in a graveyard

Lord knows I'm good at digging holes
