Well I'm diggin' myself outta this hole They say it can't be done but what do they know Take my shovel, I'm gonna use my hands I'm digging outta this hole any way that I can Well I did some things that I shouldn't have done When I should have stayed put I was on the run Now I've found there ain't no place to go So I'm diggin' myself out of this hole My mind is sharp and my back is strong I've done a lot of thinkin' about right and wrong I've made amends and I'm payin' my toll I'm diggin' myself out of this hole I'm diggin' myself out of this hole Well it's dark and it's dirty and so far down I've had me a good while to look around There's no easy way out, ain't no trap door I just don't wanna live this way anymore But my mind is sharp and my back is strong Well I've done a lot of thinkin' about right and wrong I've made amends and I'm payin' my toll I'm diggin' myself out of this hole I'm diggin' myself out of this hole Well it might take a while for the people to see 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 diggin' myself out of this hole And my mind is sharp and my back is strong Done a lot of thinkin' about right and wrong I've made amends and I'm payin' my toll I'm diggin' myself out of this hole I'm diggin' myself out of this hole I'm diggin' myself out of this hole
