Diggin' Up the Heart Lyrics
Tony came back to town
With his camping gown
That they give him at the state pen,
Breaking and entering will do that
Tony's mamma said, "He's only human"
Look what the cat dragged in
From his next of kin
His little sister hugs a tin,
Man, Tony, she's grown.
Ain't she pretty in a little black dress.
She's digging up the heart
To know the price he paid.
You can hear the train
When you're in the cage
And you can smell the rain
And you can see the sagebush
straight in the highway
But you can't drive
And when he finally put the asphalt to the tyre
Looks something like Sistine all on fire
Ripping through the dark
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Digging up the heart
One, two, three, for five
Oh, me, oh, my
Count the reasons that you shouldn't be messing
With the sons of perdition
Never gonna take you down
the straight and narrow
Fever-dreaming of a place that you just can't get
Like you're burning in a pit
Little brother, you're lying to yourself
if you think you've changed
It's just another part
Ain't it something strange?
When Tony left
They were scratching at the door
In particular, one wanted him more
Her name was Christie--Queen of humble county
But three-to-five is a lifetime at that age,
Christie met herself another boy, got engaged,
Left him in the dark
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Digging up the heart
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
With a little luck
When the times get rough
Digging up the heart
And the clerk's got his hands up
But his mind's on the mark
The .38 beneath the register
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Digging up the heart
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
With a little luck
When the times get rough
Digging up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Even boys can change
Digging up the heart
With his camping gown
That they give him at the state pen,
Breaking and entering will do that
Tony's mamma said, "He's only human"
From his next of kin
His little sister hugs a tin,
Man, Tony, she's grown.
Ain't she pretty in a little black dress.
She's digging up the heart
To know the price he paid.
When you're in the cage
And you can smell the rain
And you can see the sagebush
straight in the highway
But you can't drive
Looks something like Sistine all on fire
Ripping through the dark
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Digging up the heart
Oh, me, oh, my
Count the reasons that you shouldn't be messing
With the sons of perdition
Never gonna take you down
the straight and narrow
Fever-dreaming of a place that you just can't get
Like you're burning in a pit
Little brother, you're lying to yourself
if you think you've changed
It's just another part
Ain't it something strange?

Her name was Christie--Queen of humble county
But three-to-five is a lifetime at that age,
Christie met herself another boy, got engaged,
Left him in the dark
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
With a little luck
When the times get rough
Digging up the heart
But his mind's on the mark
The .38 beneath the register
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
With a little luck
When the times get rough
Digging up the heart
Even boys can change
Digging up the heart

Great song. Lyrics are incorrect and I all ready tried to fix them so here they are Tony came back to town With his cap and gown That they give 'em at the state pen Breaking and entering will do that Tony’s Momma says, "he’s only human"
Look what the cat dragged in From his next of kin His little sister hugs the Tin Man Tony, she’s grown Ain't she pretty in a little black dress
He’s digging up the heart To know the price he paid
You can hear the train When you’re in the cage And you can smell the rain And you can see the sage Brush threaten the highway But you can't drive
And when he finally put the asphalt to the tire It looked something like Sistene oil and fire Ripping through the dark He’s diggin' up the heart
Diggin' up the heart Diggin' up the heart Well it ain't that strange Any boy can change Diggin' up the heart
One, two, three, four, five Oh me, oh my Count the reasons that you shouldn't be messing With the sons of perdition Never gonna take you down the straight and narrow Fever dreaming of a place That you just can’t get Like you're burning in a pit Little brother, you’re lying to yourself If you think you've changed
It’s just another part Ain't this something strange When Tony left they were scratching at the door In particular, one wanted him more Her name was Christie The Queen of Humboldt County But 3 to 5 is a lifetime at that age Christie met herself another boy, got engaged Left him in the dark He’s diggin' up the heart Diggin' up the heart Diggin' up the heart Well it ain't that strange Any boy can change Diggin' up the heart
He’s diggin' up the heart Diggin' up the heart With a little luck With the times get rough Diggin' up the heart
Now the clerk's got his hands up But his mind's on the mark His 38 beneath the register He’s diggin' up the heart
Diggin' up the heart Diggin' up the heart Well it ain't that strange Any boy can change Diggin' up the heart He's diggin' up the heart Diggin' up the heart With a little luck When the times get rough Diggin' up the heart Well it ain't that strange Even boys can change Diggin' up the heart
