"The Shovel" lyrics

"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

I was talking about the dress
Seriously?

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
