Shovel

English translation

Here we go again

It seems like I'm always hitting a dead-end road

I'm rock bottom low

In my defense

I've been busy as a broke man paying off the debt he owes

But I'm losing hope

Yeah, I've been whiskey drinking

Wishful thinking

I've been on my knees

Praying, "Please, release me from this chokehold

I'm six feet deep, and I could sure use a little rope"

Shorter days turn to longer nights, it's no surprise that I'm in trouble

But every time I try to climb out of this hole

Feels like God hands me a shovel

Feels like God hands me a shovel

Make it make sense

How a million rights can't outweigh the wrong I did

Ain't I just a kid

Yeah, it's been one tough act to follow

A bitter pill to swallow

But I've been on my knees

Praying, "Please, release me from this chokehold

I'm six feet deep, and I could sure use a little rope"

Shorter days turn to longer nights, it's no surprise that I'm in trouble

But every time I try to climb out of this hole

Feels like God hands me a shovel

Feels like God hands me a shovel

Yeah, I've been whiskey drinking

Wishful thinking

I've been on my knees

Praying, "Please, release me from this chokehold

I'm six feet deep, and I could sure use a little rope"

Shorter days turn to longer nights, it's no surprise that I'm in trouble

But every time I try to climb out of this hole

Feels like God hands me a shovel

Feels like God hands me a shovel
