    F                       C
I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch
                                   F
When you're down in a ditch it's a sun of a gun
                      C
Any fool knows you'll never get rich
When you're down in a ditch
       F
In the Tennessee sun

                     C
All I got to show is blisters and sweat
                       F
Blisters and sweat and minimum pay
                   C
I'm just tryin' to get out of debt
                      F
And buddy I bet you I make it someday

       Bb
Well I wish I was the man with the clipboard
F
Sittin' in the shade with an RC cola
Bb
Makin calls on the cellular phone
    G                     C
And yellin' down at me to keep my butt movin'

    F                       C
I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch
                                   F
When you're down in a ditch it's a sun of a gun
                      C
Any fool knows you'll never get rich
When you're down in a ditch
       F
In the Tennessee sun

     Bb
Some day you'll see me workin' that clipboard
F
Sittin' in the cab of a cool Silverado
Bb
Tuned in to a country station
G                               C
Rollin' down the window just to holler out orders

    F                       C
I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch
                                   F
When you're down in a ditch it's a sun of a gun
                      C
Any fool knows you'll never get rich
Workin' down in a ditch
       F
In the Tennessee sun
