Diggin' Ditches Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like pretending to end it all
I could pack up my whole life into a paragraph or two
Newspapers would say I was a good kid,
Newspapers would say I was a tragedy
But those newspapers will never know,
Just like you never knew and you'll never know me
So if they say I'm dead but they can't find the body,
Wish me well.
I'll be diggin' ditches in Kentucky
Or a doctor up in Maine
Driving buses in California
First I'll live out a life and then I'll die;
Then I'll live out another life and then I'll die
And again and again and again.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
