Down In A Ditch Lyrics - Joe Diffie

I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch 

When you're down in a ditch it's a son of a gun 

Any fool knows you'll never get rich 

When you're down in a ditch in the Tennessee sun 

All I got to show is blisters and sweat 

Blisters and sweat and minimum pay 

I'm just tryin' to get out of debt 

And buddy I bet you, I make it someday 

Well I wish that I was the man with the clipboard 

Sittin' in the shade with an RC cola 

Makin' calls on the cellular phone 

And yellin' down at me to keep my butt movin' 

But I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch 

When you're down in a ditch it's a son of a gun 

Any fool knows you'll never get rich 

When you're down in a ditch in the Tennessee sun 

Someday you'll see me workin' that clipboard 

Sittin' in the cab of a cool Silverado 

Tuned in to a country station 

Rollin' down the window just to holler out orders 

To the fool with the shovel way down in a ditch 

When you're down in a ditch it's a son of a gun 

Everybody knows you never get rich 

Working down in a ditch in the Tennessee sun 

I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch 

When you're down in a ditch it's a son of a gun 

Any fool knows you'll never get rich 

Working down in a ditch in the Tennessee sun 

Way down in a ditch in the Tennessee sun 

Dig it 

Oh, its hot out here 

[Incomprehensible] RC cola
