Diggin' Deep Down

Back in my younger days My head up in the clouds Till one day unbeknownst to me Somehow I had sown the seeds of my self doubt And it rooted deep inside me And it grew just like an ivy Wrapped its way around my spine Left all my joy behind, lord it choked me out But I been getting down to the root of it now I've been getting down to the truth of it now I'm down there on my hands and knees Yea I been feeling my way around Yea I been diggin' deep down Yea I'm diggin' deep deep down 'Cause when the days are dark and stormy I can see there's nothing for me up there in the clouds I'd rather move a little earth around I'd rather move a little earth around That's why I'm diggin' deep down Yea I'm diggin' deep down There's no need to be nervous When you're just scratching at the surface But when you really get down there Start pulling out your hair Gott keep your wits about I been taking deeper breaths I been contemplating death Trying to keep it on the rails Dirt beneath the nails I ain't chewed off yet And when the light starts growing dim That's when I know I'm closing in Thats when I'm down there on my hands and knees And I'm feeling my way around Yea I'm diggin' deep down Yea I'm diggin' deep deep down When the days are dark and stormy I can see there's nothing for me up there in the clouds I'd rather move a little earth around I'd rather move a little earth around Yea I'm diggin' deep down Yea I'm diggin' deep deep deep deep down When I look at all of the families my friends have made Make a man wonder what he's doing out there on that interstate But I gotta believe that's what I'm out here to find out And When it feels like I got nothing left Close my eyes take a real deep breathe And when you need me baby call me Put your ear to the ground 'Cause you know where I can be found Yea I'm diggin' deep down Yea I'm diggin' deep deep down When the days are dark and stormy I can see there's nothing for me up there in the clouds I'd rather move a little earth around I'd rather move a little earth around Yea I'm diggin' deep down Yea I'm diggin' deep deep deep deep down
