Well I'm digging myself out of this hole

They say it can't be done but what do they know

Faiths my shovel gonna use my hands

I'm digging out of this hole any way that I can

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 digging myself out of this hole

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

It's dark and it's dirty so far down

I had me a good wife but look around

There's no easy way there

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

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

I'm digging myself out of this hole
