The Hole

A friend of mine bought himself a shovel
Said iâm gonna tunnel me a mine
He set out to be a rich man
Happiness is what he thought heâd fine

Got in to deep to see the diamond
Down to dark to see the gold
Now he wonât let go of the shovel
And he canât dig out of the hole

Deeper and deeper heâs going down
Driving his future right into the ground
He thinks heâs closer the further he goes
But heâs still on the bottom
And he canât dig out of the hole
I tried to throw the man a life line
I tried to send him down a rope
I donât 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 canât dig out of the hole

Repeat chorus:
Maybe we could learn a little lesson
Maybe thisâll shine a little light
Cause theirs no healthy way to mess with
The line between wrong and right

Use the one chance youâve been given
Cause once your in the ground and cold
Itâs too late to start livin?
You see you canât dig out of the hole

Repeat chorus:

Itâs hell on the bottom
And you canât dig out of the hole
