in the dirt

gonna dig down in the dirt
get it all over my skin
sleep real well and up with the sun
do it all over again     

dig down, dig down
way way down in the ground

gonna dig down in dirt
feel it between my toes
gonna find out what every farmer knows
there down in the dirt     

dig down, dig down
way way down in the ground

gonna dig down in the dirt
plant good things to eat
gonna heel it in with my own two feet
way down in the dirt     

dig down, dig down
way way down in the ground

gonna dig down in the dirt
where all the good things grow
gonna have a talk with mother earth
she knows how to soothe my soul     

dig down, dig down
way way down in the ground

whatcha gonna do when you've had enough
whatcha gonna do when the bills pile up
whatcha gonna do when the water's too deep
whatcha gonna do when the hill's too steep     

dig down dig down 

whatcha gonna do with a head full of bees
whatcha gonna do when you're tired of sayin' please
whatcha gonna do when the motor won't run
whatcha gonna do when you're feelin' done     

dig down dig down 

whatcha gonna do when the baby can't sleep
whatcha gonna do when you're too tired to weep
whatcha gonna do in a world full of schemes
whatcha gonna do to remember your dreams     

dig down dig down
