Lyrics
Diggin'
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You know my daddy dug gates for his whole life
And he never knew nothin' more
Yeah, and his daddy done the dig like his old man
Who dug before the war
And though she couldn't have known til I was born
My poor mother, God rest her soul
Oh, like them I come out diggin'
Well I was layin' out wire on Number Nine, now
When she came down to Earth
And she was talkin' real loud all about how she was gonna save the universe
I went and snuck a little peek in her blue eyes
And words just aren't enough
Oh, she had me off and runnin'
Could it be that I got bored and lonely?
Could it be that I'm just dumb and horny?
Could it be that Lady Luck is smilin' down on me?
She wore rattlesnake boots, a sassy mood
She had me laughing in my tears
The most beautiful thing, so young and sweet
A little green behind the ears
She took me higher than I ever been
Lord, what have I been missing?
Now she is all I'm diggin'
Could it be that I got bored and lonely?
Could it be that I'm just old and horny?
Could it be that Lady Luck is smiling down on me?
She's smiling down on me, yeah!
Come a little closer
Let me show you how it could be
Spacy little cowgirl
Come a little closer to me
Spacy little cowgirl
Whoo!
