A friend of mine bought himself a shovel
Said iām gonna tunnel me a mine
He set out to be a rich man
Happiness is what he thought heād fine
Got in to deep to see the diamond
Down to dark to see the gold
Now he wonāt let go of the shovel
And he canāt dig out of the hole
Deeper and deeper heās going down
Driving his future right into the ground
He thinks heās closer the further he goes
But heās still on the bottom
And he canāt dig out of the hole
I tried to throw the man a life line
I tried to send him down a rope
I donāt 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 canāt dig out of the hole
Repeat chorus:
Maybe we could learn a little lesson
Maybe thisāll shine a little light
Cause theirs no healthy way to mess with
The line between wrong and right
Use the one chance youāve been given
Cause once your in the ground and cold
Itās too late to start livin?
You see you canāt dig out of the hole
Repeat chorus:
Itās hell on the bottom
And you canāt dig out of the hole
