Littleton Jones — Been Diggin' lyrics

Lyrics

My sense of direction is not too good these days
Feels like I’m lost but they keep tellin' me I’m saved
They say I’m diggin' myself a hole and I say «yeah, I know»
It’s crowded up here and I’d like to be alone
Been diggin' this hole of mine for way too long, for way too long
Hopin' to find a new world of my own
Rock, stone, and root and bone, too many dead ends
Didn’t know this hole would have all these curves and bends
Lookin' back I shoulda dug right through instead of always goin' around
'Cause when I emerged you won’t believe what I found
Been diggin' this hole of mine for way too long, for way too long
Hopin' to find a new world of my own
So many years of diggin' now the time had finally come
I poked my head through the earth above and I thought I saw the sun
But the light in my eyes was the flashlight of a prison guard
He said, «Welcome home boy. You didn’t get too far.»
Been diggin' this hole of mine for way too long, for way too long
Hopin' to find a new world of my own
My sense of direction is not too good these days
