[Intro]
[Verse]
Well I m digging myself out of this hole
They say it can t be done, but what do they know
Take my shovel gonna use my hands
Diggin out of this hole any way that I can
[Verse]
Well I did some things, that I shouldn t have done
When I should have stayed put, I was on the run
Now I find, there ain t no place to go
So I m diggin myself out of this hole
[Chorus]
My mind is sharp and my back is strong
I ve done a lot of thinking about right and wrong
I ve made amends and I m paying my toll
I m digging myself out of this hole
I m digging myself out of this hole
[Verse]
It s dark and its dirty so far down
I had me a good wife, but look around
There s no easy way, there ain t no trapdoor
I don t want to live this way no more.
[Chorus]
My mind is sharp and my back is strong
I ve done a lot of thinking about right and wrong
I ve made amends and I m paying my toll
I m digging myself out of this hole
I m digging myself out of this hole
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
It might take awhile for the people to see
That I m not the man that I used to be
I was mean as a snake; I was blind as a mole
But I m digging myself out of this hole
[Chorus]
My mind is sharp and my back is strong
I ve done a lot of thinking about right and wrong
I ve made amends and I m paying my toll
I m digging myself out of this hole
I m digging myself out of this hole
[Outro]
I m digging myself out of this hole
