A Friend of Mine
Now he won't let go of the shovel
And he can't dig out of the hole
Deeper and deeper he's going down
Driving his future right into the ground
He thinks he's closer the further he goes
But he's still on the bottom
And he can't dig out of the hole
I tried to throw the man a lifeline
I tried to send him down a road
I don't think he hears me calling
But every day I pray and pull
Somehow he finally gets a message
Every spade a dirty throw
Only gets him closer to the devil
And he can't dig out of the hole
Deeper and deeper he's going down
Driving his future right into the ground
He thinks he's closer the further he goes
But he's still on the bottom
And he can't dig out of the hole
Maybe we could learn a little lesson
Maybe this'll shine a little light
There's no healthy way to mess with
The line between wrong and right
Here's the one chance you've been given
Once you're in the ground and cold
It's too late to start livin'
You see, you can't dig out of the hole
Deeper and deeper
He's goin' down
Drivin' his future
Right into the ground
He thinks he's closer
But further he goes
But he's dead on the bottom
And he can't dig out of the hole
He's dead on the bottom
But he can't dig out of the hole
But he can't dig out of the hole
