(Verse)
I was a ghost town, I was a gold seeker
Looking for the mother load
In a crowd of poisonous people, lookin' for somethin'
While I was tryna get found
Like there was a whole life waitin'
That was neva mine for the takin'

(Pre-Chorus)
I should've put that shovel down
I should've put that shovel down
Becuz pretendin' to be deep neva got me anywhere

(Chorus)
I've been diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin' for years
I've been diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin' for years
I'm pretty sure there's nothin' buried here
I've been diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin' for years

(Verse 2)
Same story again, it was a shot in the arm
Sometimes I wish it was a shot in the head
I'd stake my claim then excavate that gravel bed
But all hope was dead, all of those things I knew were right
All of the things I did instead

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Finally my blurry eyes come clear
The day I gave up hope I gave up fear

(Chorus)
