"Down At The Bottom" lyrics

"Down At The Bottom"

Down at the bottom of the quarry
Here's a diamond for my baby
Down at the bottom of my pocket there's a lonely dollar bill
There's a lonely dollar bill

And I've been working hard to make it
And I've been trying not to fake it
But my hands they are shakin' for the road is longer still
Yeah, the road is longer still

I found a spark in the dark and it moves me along
Oh it moves me along
There's a beat in my heart that will carry me home
Yeah carry me home
Yeah carry me home

Now we're taking all the chances
And we're splittin' up the rations
Making riches from the ashes singing steady as we go
Singing steady as we go

No more standing at the mountain
Wishing instead it was a fountain
Full of money for the countin', make us rotten to the bone
That will make us rotten to the bone

Yeah no more standing at the mountain
Wishing instead it was a fountain
Full of money for the countin', make us rotten to the bone
That will make us rotten to the bone

I found a spark in the dark and it moves me along
Oh it moves me along
There's a beat in my heart that will carry me home
Yeah carry me home
Yeah carry me home
Yeah carry me home
