I'm gonna drive   To a foreign town    To that lonely hill   Where that man hung round   See, he lost his job   Then his family too   Late one night    At the top of that hill      He said this is what I'm gonna do   I'm gonna dig straight through      The word was spread   Through the townsfolk    They ridiculed    And made cruel jokes   But he wasn't fazed    He stayed steady and true   Night after night   At the top of that hill    He said this is what I'm gonna do   I'm gonna dig straight through      The cops pulled in    Flashing red and blue   Through their megaphone   They said come down sir    And bring that shovel, too   He said there ain't no way   You're gonna get me down   I got forty sticks of dynamite      Strapped to my chest   And I'll blow this whole fucking town   I'm gonna dig straight through
