A friend of mine bought himself a shovel Said I?gonna tunnel me a mine He set out to be a rich man Happiness is what he thought he?fine Got in to deep to see the diamond Down to dark to see the gold Now he won?let go of the shovel And he can?dig out of the hole Deeper and deeper he?going down Driving his future right into the ground He thinks he?closer the further he goes But he?still on the bottom And he can?dig out of the hole I tried to throw the man a life line I tried to send him down a rope I don?think he hears me calling But everyday I pray and hope Somehow he finally gets the message Every spade of dirt he throws Only gets him closer to the devil And he can?dig out of the hole Maybe we could learn a little lesson Maybe this? shine a little light Cause theirs no healthy way to mess with The line between wrong and right Use the one chance you? been given Cause once your in the ground and cold You see you can?dig out of the hole It?hell on the bottom
