Keep Diggin' Lyrics

Didn't wanna but I thought I should

Drilled it in my brain since childhood

Now you're grown, get a 9 to 5

Won't make it on your own, said I'll never thrive

But I don't buy that

I got a shovel, carve my own path

Tryin' to make my way

But Uncle Sam say

Keep that motor runnin', quit your grumblin', pay them bills

Keep us comin' back for pennies 'cause they know that we will

What about me and my needs

Squeezin' my life into the evenings

Soon as that sun rise

I'm on the boss' time

But I don't buy that

I'll keep diggin', carve my own path

Tryin' to make my way

But Uncle Sam say

Keep that motor runnin', quit your grumblin', pay them bills

Keep us comin' back for pennies 'cause they know that we will

But I don't buy that, we've got to find a better way

Take control of our lives, oh yeah

Did my time, I put in that work

But I still couldn't get no perks

I broke my back so somebody else

Could get a big boat or another house

But I don't buy that

I'll keep diggin', carve my own path

It's time to make your way

And time for us to say

Keep that motor runnin', quit your grumblin', do your own work

Keep your pennies 'cause we know now how much we are worth

Keep that motor runnin', quit your grumblin', do your own work

Keep your pennies 'cause we know now how much we are worth
