Well, I ought to be working in a coal mine Neck deep in black long soot Swinging a pick at that mountain side Halfway to china, I think I would Fit right in where the sun don't shine She's better off alone Yeah I ought to be working in a coal mine Lord knows I'm good at digging holes Well I ought to be drilling for the black gold Swimming in that texas tea I could make a killing all on my own Selling my misfortune to a family! Cause when I hit rock bottom The deeper down I go Yeah, I ought to be drilling for the black gold Lord knows I'm good at digging holes Well I ought to be working for the railroads Sweat pouring off my back Hauling away a heavy load A far cry from heaven down a cold steel track And I can't take her with me She's better off without Yeah I ought to be working for the railroads Lord knows I'm good at leaving town When it comes to love I ain't got a clue What this heart of mine is supposed to do It tears me up inside what I put her through Still she won't let go Well I ought to make my living in a graveyard Over my head in dirt If I had a shovel I'd bury this heart Six feet down And my last words would be I never meant to hurt you I'm better off a ghost Yeah, I ought to make my living in a graveyard Lord knows I'm good at digging holes Oh I ought to make my living in a graveyard Lord knows I'm good at digging holes
