G 	                                          
It?s a hundred degrees and I?m digging this ditch 
      C                                      
That sun?s beating down like a Son of a Bitch 
 	 D                          G  
And my shadow is the only shade in sight 
I could have been a doctor, a lawyer, or an engineer 
But I chose instead to make a career 
Out of blaming other people for the problems in my life 
 

[Refrão]
            C                       G 
Give me my freedom, take back your money 
                 D                 G   
Don?t you listen to that old wind blow 
                       C                       G      
There?s a storm cloud rolling down that Clovis Highway 
             D     
It?s heading my way 
                 Em 
And I just might go 
 
 
Well, it?s hard to look up when you?re always staring down 
At your foot on a shovel dividing the ground 
And all your dreams just fade into a wish 
You know I?d like to straighten up, get my life on track 
Start moving ahead, but it?s a well-known fact 
That you?re always going backwards when you?re digging a ditch 
 
 
(Chorus)
