[C] [F]
[C] [F]
I'm running this shovel [C] way down in a ditch
When you're down in [F] a ditch, it's a son of a gun
Any fool knows [C] you'll never get rich
When you're down in a ditch in [F] the Tennessee sun
All I got is soul with blisters and sweat
Blisters and sweat and [F] minimum pay
I'm just trying [C] to get out of it
And buddy, I betcha [F] I'll make it someday
Well, [Bb] I wish that I was the man with the clipboard
Setting in the shade with [A] an RC [Bb] Polar
Making calls on the cellular phone
[C] Yelling down at me to keep my butt moving
[G]
But I'm running this shovel way [C] down in a ditch
When you're down in a ditch, it's [F] a son of a gun
Any fool knows [C] you'll never get rich
When you're down in a ditch in [F] the Tennessee sun
[C]
[F] [C]
[Bb] Someday you'll see me working that clipboard
[F] Sitting in the cab of a cool [Bb] Silverado
Tuned into a country station
[C] Rolling down the window just to holler out orders
[G]
To [F] the fool with the shovel [C] way down in a ditch
When you're down in a ditch, [F] it's a son of a gun
Everybody knows [C] you'll never get rich
Working down in a ditch in [F] the Tennessee sun
[G] I'm running this shovel [D] way down in a ditch
When you're down in a ditch, [E] it's a son of a gun
[G] Any fool knows [D] you'll never get rich
Working down in a ditch in the Tennessee [C] sun
Way [D] down in a ditch in the Tennessee [G] sun
