Down In The Dirt

My daddy was a lawyer who sold salvation to the church

Your money's no good in heaven, but it's great down here on earth

So let's get down in the dirt

Let's get down in the dirt

My granddad was a scholar in the school of heartbreak and hard work

He didn't believe in heaven or damnation being worse

He's laid down in the dirt

He laid down in the dirt

It can't be that we're the only ones

Born out of this ever-loving mud

It can't be that we're the only ones

That grew up from this ever-loving sun

My mama was no angel, she was more than just a nurse

She thought it was a charity to keep us kids from getting hurt

Can't stay clean in the dirt

Life is mean on this earth

I have no occupation, but I have some sense of worth

All the flowers blossom from what goes on in the dirt

So I get down in the dirt

Let's get down in the dirt

It can't be that we're the only ones

Born out of this ever-loving mud

It can't be that we're the only ones

That grew up from this ever-loving sun

They say that love is just the thing to save a man

It's not so shallow, you must dig to bring it out

So let's get down in the dirt

Let's get down in the dirt

They say that love is just the thing to save a man

It's not so shallow, you must dig to bring it out

So let's get down in the dirt

Let's get down in the dirt
