Hands in the Dirt Lyrics
I got tired of living with depression
So I went for a little walk
I came upon a woman under the bridge
making money read Tarot cards
She said I can tell when you're lyin,
but I know you've been telling the truth.
I know you aint said a prayer in years,
since you were livin in your momma's roost.
Well the Devil he works in mysterious ways
And he knows when you're out of fight
You need to pick your soul up from out of the filth
And make em think that you're living right
You need you walk on back to the country
Honey, put your hands in the dirt
Your daddy always said when the dream gets dead
pick your ass up, and go to work
She said I see you quit school after 2 hard years
Took it easy out on the road
Rollin your dice with the neon lights
has got ya sayin hey now I know
That ya don't need love or a higher education
to make it big selling tapes
Cause if you pull a big crowd or you settle on down
that's icing on the wedding cake
Sugar, that's icing on the wedding cake
So won't you run on back to the country
put your hands in the dirt
your daddy always said when the dream gets dead
pick your ass up and go to work
You need to run on back to the country
put your hands in the dirt
your daddy always said when you dream gets dead
pick your ass up and go to work
You need to run on back to the country
put your hands in the dirt
your daddy always said when the dream gets dead
wake your ass up and go to work
your daddy always said when the dream gets dead
wake your ass up and go to work
So I went for a little walk
I came upon a woman under the bridge
making money read Tarot cards
She said I can tell when you're lyin,
but I know you've been telling the truth.
I know you aint said a prayer in years,
since you were livin in your momma's roost.
Well the Devil he works in mysterious ways
And he knows when you're out of fight
You need to pick your soul up from out of the filth
And make em think that you're living right
Honey, put your hands in the dirt
Your daddy always said when the dream gets dead
pick your ass up, and go to work
Took it easy out on the road
Rollin your dice with the neon lights
has got ya sayin hey now I know
That ya don't need love or a higher education
to make it big selling tapes
Cause if you pull a big crowd or you settle on down
that's icing on the wedding cake
Sugar, that's icing on the wedding cake
put your hands in the dirt
your daddy always said when the dream gets dead
pick your ass up and go to work
put your hands in the dirt
your daddy always said when you dream gets dead
pick your ass up and go to work
put your hands in the dirt
your daddy always said when the dream gets dead
wake your ass up and go to work
wake your ass up and go to work

I think this song is about the advice justins dad gave him when he and the band were in limbo about what to do with the band.
