Dig Straight Through Lyrics

I'm gonna drive
To a foreign town
To that lonely hill
Where that man hung round
See, he lost his job
Then his family too
Late one night
At the top of that hill

He said this is what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna dig straight through

The word was spread
Through the townsfolk
They ridiculed
And made cruel jokes
But he wasn't fazed
He stayed steady and true
Night after night
At the top of that hill
He said this is what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna dig straight through

The cops pulled in
Flashing red and blue
Through their megaphone
They said come down sir
And bring that shovel, too
He said there ain't no way
You're gonna get me down
I got forty sticks of dynamite

Strapped to my chest
And I'll blow this whole fucking town
I'm gonna dig straight through
