Josh Rister - Best Put Down That Shovel, Boy
00
Copied!
(Verse 1)
Well, it seems to me like you’ve been a-diggin’
Just a ways over your head
You’ve been prayin’ for a diamond
Turning up chunks of coal instead
Well let me tell ya’, son I’ve been there
And I ain’t turned up nary diamond yet
And I’ll warn ya, it just gets hotter
The further down you let yourself get
(Chorus)
Best put down that shovel boy
Quit while you’re ahead
Lay off of that horse son
He’s already dead
Oh, the grass ain’t always greener
And the sky is just as blue
So you’d best put down that shovel, boy
If you know what’s good for you
(Bridge)

(Chorus)
Best put down that shovel boy

Oh, the grass ain’t always greener

If you know what’s good for you
Well, it seems to me like you’ve been a-diggin’
