Shovels & Dirt Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me
I got a mouth full of rotten and a heart full of greed
Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt
Well, it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt
Alright!
[Verse 2]
Cowboy hats and crooked teeth
With a six shooting pistol just out of my reach
Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt
Well, it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt
[Chorus]
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
Alright!
[Verse 3]
Well, demons pull me side to side again
Yeah, but I'm scared of sleeping, I hate my friends
Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt
Well, it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt
[Chorus]
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me
I got a mouth full of rotten and a heart full of greed
Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt
Well, it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt
Alright!
[Verse 2]
Cowboy hats and crooked teeth
With a six shooting pistol just out of my reach
Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt
Well, it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt
[Chorus]
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
Alright!
[Verse 3]
Well, demons pull me side to side again
Yeah, but I'm scared of sleeping, I hate my friends
Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt
Well, it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt
[Chorus]
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
[Bridge]
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
[Chorus]
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
[Chorus]
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
[Outro]
Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me
I got a sick shooting pistol and I'm ready to leave
Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me
I got a sick shooting pistol and I'm ready to leave
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
It basically talks about broken hearts and inner demons. These things hurt us but keep us alive. Nobody tell us when we are young that being a grown up means being aware of your consciousness, which brings insecurities. Even so, having insecurities can be positive, by accepting them and trying to be a better person.
