Well I ought to be drilling for the black gold Swimming in a Texas tea I could make a k**ing all on my own Sending my misfortune to the family! 'cause when I hit rock bottom The deeper down I go Ohh I ought to be drilling for the black gold Lord knows I'm good at digging holes! Well I ought to be working for the railroads Sweat... and off my back ... And I can't take her with me She's better off without Yeah I ought to be working for the railroads Lord knows I'm good in leaving town When it comes to love I ain't got a clue What this heart of mine is suppose to do It tears me up inside what I ut her through Still she won't let go Well I ought to make my living in a graveyard Over my head in dirt If i had a shovel I'd bury this heart... Six feet down And my last words would be: I never meant to hurt you I'm better off a ghost Ohh I ought to make my living in a graveyard Lord knows I'm good at digging holes!
