    F5                       C5 
I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch
                                   F5 
When you're down in a ditch it's a sun of a gun
                      C5 
Any fool knows you'll never get rich
 
When you're down in a ditch 
       F5
In the Tennessee sun 
                     C5
All I got to show is blisters and sweat 
                       F5
Blisters and sweat and minimum pay
                   C5 
I'm just tryin' to get out of debt 
                      F5
And buddy I bet you I make it someday 
       Bb5
Well I wish I was the man with the clipboard 
F5
Sittin' in the shade with an RC cola 
Bb5
Makin calls on the cellular phone 
    G5                     C5
And yellin' down at me to keep my butt movin' 
    F5                       C5
I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch

When you're down in a ditch it's a sun of a gun

Someday you'll see me workin' that clipboard 
F5
Sittin' in the cab of a cool Silverado 
Bb5
Tuned in to a country station 
G5                               C5
Rollin' down the window just to holler out orders 
    F5                       C5
I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch 
                                   F5
When you're down in a ditch it's a sun of a gun 
                      C5
Any fool knows you'll never get rich 

Workin' down in a ditch
