The Shovel (feat. Jim Lauderdale)

We were sitting in a booth at the Waffle House

When in walked a blue-eyed beauty with long tanned legs

I said, "Don't she look cute?" as your head spun around

And without thinking twice, you said, "Hell, yes"

The look I gave you started your decline

Well, honey, you should quit while you're behind

Step away from the shovel

'Cause you're digging you a hole

And the more you keep talking, the deeper and deeper you go

Well, the more your lips keep moving, the more ground that you keep losing

So, before you get more in trouble

Step away from the shovel

Sometimes when a woman asks what you think

Well, that don't mean she really wants to know

You shoulda kept eating them onion rings

You've ruined our meal, it's all your fault, let's go

And even in the car on our way home

You said you only liked what she had on

Step away from the shovel

'Cause you're digging you a hole

And the more you keep talking, the deeper and deeper you go

Well, the more your lips keep moving, the more ground that you keep losing

So, before you get more in trouble

Step away from the shovel

Well, I don't expect you to read my mind until I do

And right now, I'm telling you

Step away from the shovel

'Cause you're digging you a hole

And the more you keep talking, the deeper and deeper you go

Well, the more your lips keep moving, the more ground you keep on losing

So, before you get more in trouble

Step away from the shovel

Before you bury yourself in the rubble

Step away from the shovel
