Well I'm digging myself out of this hole
They say it can't be done, but what do they know
Faith's my shovel, gonna use my hands
I'm digging out of this hole any way that I can
I did some things, that I shouldn't have done
When I should have stayed put, I was on the run
Now I find, there ain't no place to go
So I'm digging myself out of this hole
My mind is sharp and my back is strong
I've done a lot of thinkin' about right and wrong
I've made amends and I'm paying my toll
I'm digging myself out of this hole
I'm digging myself out of this hole
Its dark and its dirty so far down
I had me a good wife, but look around
There's no easy way, there ain't no trapdoor
I just don't wanna live this way anymore
My mind is sharp and my back is strong
I've done a lot of thinkin' about right and wrong
I've made amends and I'm paying my toll
I'm digging myself out of this hole
I'm digging myself out of this hole
It might take awhile for the people to see
That I'm not the man that I used to be
I was mean as a snake; I was blind as a mole
But I'm digging myself out of this hole
My mind is sharp and my back is strong
I've done a lot of thinkin' about right and wrong
I've made amends and I'm paying my toll
I'm digging myself out of this hole
I'm digging myself out of this hole
I'm digging myself out of this hole
