Hard To Dig A Hole Lyrics

Hard To Dig A Hole
Hard to dig a hole
When the ground is cold and tough
Hard to dig a hole
You can't go deep enough
Make some cracks with that ax
Til your broken back is sore
Stick that shovel in the gravel
Poke around a little more
Hard to dig a hole
With tears in your eyes
Hard to dig a hole
When your whole world dies
Hard to chisel names
On a rotten fence rail
Hard to chisel names
With a bent and rusty nail
Mother is covered
And buried in the dirt
Daughter I've got her
Buried in my heart
Carve out a life
By earth and blood and bone
Everything you love
Leaves you all alone
Easy to dream
When all I see is them
Easy to dream
And not wake up again
In the blind of my mind
I see them everywhere
In the hole of my soul
I know they are nowhere
