Digging Holes
Lyrics of Digging Holes by Cameron Whitcomb
Verse
I left home just to follow my feet
Had a rough couple years and I had to retreat
′Cause I was 17 with too much to prove
But it's hard to grow up when there′s rot in your roots
Pre-chorus
I ain't six feet deep, but I'm getting real close
And I just can′t leave, oh
Chorus
My face feels heavy and my heart is broke
I′ve been waiting on dead trees to grow
This much rain will make you pray for snow
And I hate rock bottom, but I'm good at digging holes
Digging holes (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Digging holes (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Verse
And I met a girl with a lot of ideas
She had a couple dollars and I had a Cavalier
And we drove all night ′til that motor was gone
Only made it halfway to Saskatchewan
Pre-chorus
Now I smoke through lunch, and she still gets high
When you're this far down, it′s a real tough climb
Chorus
My face feels heavy and my heart is broke
I've been waiting on dead trees to grow
This much rain will make you pray for snow
And I hate rock bottom, but I′m good at digging holes
Digging holes (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, digging holes (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, digging holes (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, oh, oh, digging holes (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Digging holes
Chorus
My face feels heavy and I sold my soul
To make another payment on my own headstone
Damn this shovel 'cause I can't let go
And I hate rock bottom, but I′m good at digging holes
Digging holes (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, digging holes (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
No, no, no, digging holes (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Digging holes
Outro
Oh, I hate rock bottom, but I′m good at digging holes
