Ain't Gonna Dig My Own Grave (No More) Lyrics

What’s that?

What’s that you say?

Yeah, you could say I got a troubling mind

Was gonna tell you a story

That started with the king of the road

But digging this hole s’been a’taking it’s toll

And now I think that story’s better left untold

I’ve been out here walking

There’s a full moon on the rise

Some folks believe in that voodoo-ese

And that empty kind of magic from behind your eyes

I’m halfway up to heaven, darling

I hear the devil knocking my front door

I’m half way up to heaven darling

I ain’t gonna dig my own grave

No more

Don’t want to know of your problems

Cos I’ve got a few of my own

I don’t want to hear of your loves and your fears

Cos I can hear him breathing when you pick up the phone

And all those things you gave me

All those peculiar lies

I wrapped them up and I traded them in

For just one last goodbye bye bye

And now I’m halfway up to heaven, darling

I hear the devil knocking my front door

I’m half way up to heaven darling

I ain’t gonna dig my own grave no more

No more

I ain’t gonna dig my own grave

Not for you, no more

Gabriel and Jeremiah

Been talking about scriptures to me

Well I’m not calling them liars

It’s just that things you hear these days are

So hard to believe

I heard you say that you love me

I heard that you say that you care

I heard you’ve been dancing with strangers, darling

Down where those angels they just don’t dare

I’m halfway up to heaven, darling

I hear the devil knocking my front door

Half way up to heaven, darling

I ain’t gonna dig my own grave

I’m halfway up to heaven

I hear the devil knocking my front door

Half way up to heaven darling

I ain’t gonna dig my own grave no more

No more

I ain’t gonna dig my own grave

Who do you think I am?

You could say I got a troubling mind, ha!

So I’m just gonna pack my things

Gonna pack my things

And wave goodbye
