Takes off his hat and hangs his shovel for the day
Lights up a smoke
Out on the patio
He looks across his 80 acre farm
He sees dragon flies
And hunny, pine pollen
In the air
And he knows
He wont be a man until he tries
He's trying hard to find the answers
To the troubles in his life, yeah
He's workin hard to find a job
Digging a grave in his backyard
He knows little of
What summer will bring
He's askin' doctors and policemen
He's askin' family and old friends
If he should fill up that hole
And move away from home
Go back to school
Learn to be cool
Cause he knows
He wont be a man until he tries
He's trying hard to find the answers
To the troubles in his life
He's workin hard to find a job
Digging a grave in his back yard
He knows little of what summer will bring
He's askin' doctors and policemen
He's askin' family and old friends
If he should fill up that hole
And move away from home
Go back to school
Learn to be cool
Cause he knows
He wont be a man until he tries
He's trying hard to find the answers
To the troubles in his life
He's workin hard to find a job
Digging a grave in his back yard
He knows little of what summer will bring
