The Hole

<br>A friend of mine bought himself a shovel<br>Said I`m gonna tunnel me a mine<br>He set out to be a rich man<br>Happiness is what he thought he`d find<br>Got in too deep to see the diamonds<br>Down too dark to see the gold<br>Now he won`t let go of the shovel<br>And he can`t dig out of the hole<br>Deeper and deeper he`s goin` down<br>Driving his future<br>Right into the ground<br>He thinks he`s closer<br>The further he goes<br>But he`s still on the bottom<br>And he can`t dig out of the hole<br>I tried to throw the man a lifeline<br>I tried to send him down a rope<br>I don`t think he hears me calling<br>But every day I pray and I hope<br>Somehow he finally gets the message<br>Every spade of dirt he throws<br>Only gets him closer to the devil<br>And he can`t dig out of the hole<br>Deeper and deeper he`s goin` down<br>Driving his future<br>Right into the ground<br>He thinks he`s closer<br>The further he goes<br>But he`s still on the bottom<br>And he can`t dig out of the hole<br>Maybe we could learn a little lesson<br>Maybe this`ll shine a little light<br>There`s no healthy way to mess with<br>The line between the wrong and the right<br>Use the one chance you`ve been given<br>Cause once you`re in the ground and cold<br>It`s too late to start livin`<br>You see you can`t dig out of the hole<br>Deeper and deeper he`s goin` down<br>Driving his future<br>Right into the ground<br>He thinks he`s closer<br>The further he goes<br>But he`s still on the bottom<br>And he can`t dig out of the hole<br>It`s Hell on the bottom<br>And you can`t dig out of the hole
