Lyrics

Let's dig a hole in the sand, brother

A little grave we can fill together

I've got myself a problem

That I've been lookin' to sell

Some people die just a little

Some people die just a little

Sometimes you die by the drop

Sometimes you die by the drop

Some people die in the middle

Some people die in the middle

I live just fine on the top

I'm gonna take you for worse or better

I'm gonna make you for worse or better

I'm gonna take you for worse or better

To my little grave

I never said we was equal

I never said it was equal

I never wished to be saved

I never wished to be saved

If I'm a problem then preach on

If I'm a problem, preach on

Let's dig a little grave

I'm gonna take you for worse or better

I'm gonna make you for worse or better

I'm gonna take you for worse or better

To my little grave

Let's dig a hole in the sand, brother

Slide off the land for worse or better

Get right down to the bottom

If one goes so do the other

Some people die just a little

Some people die just a little

Sometimes you die by the drop

Sometimes you die by the drop

Some people die in the middle

Some people die in the middle

I live just fine on the top

I'm gonna take you for worse or better

I'm gonna make you for worse or better

I'm gonna take you for worse or better

To my little grave

I'm gonna take you for worse or better

To my little grave

I'm gonna make you for worse or better

To my little grave

I'm gonna take you for worse or better

Take you for worse or better

Worse or better

To my little grave
