cd: Relic of a Bygone Day
track 8: I’ll Keep Diggin
I couldn’t hate this mining more
But I love the woman I’m doing this for
The clock is ticking and she’s waiting
above for me
Pick in hand, down I go
Saving all my hard earned dough
I’m not there for life I guarantee
I’ll keep diggin’
I’ll keep diggin’
I’ll keep diggin’
‘Til I can buy a ring
For the one I love
I’m reminded every night
Why I wear this miner’s light
When we kiss goodbye outside her door
Take that memory down with me
I’ll get out eventually
We won’t need this mountain anymore
Chorus
Never one for small details
I got coal beneath my nails
She’ll just scrub me up and start to smile
I know she deserves the best
That’s why I refuse to rest
‘Til I’m walking that girl down the aisle
Chorus
I can’t wait to see the day
When she and I are gone away
Anywhere’s a finer place to go
Someplace that the sun can shine
And I’m sure that gal of mine’s
Not worrying ‘bout me working down below
Chorus
