You saw a sign on a pick up truck

You bought a guitar with a borrowed buck -
And you dig it and you dig it
They liked your songs
they were hot for you

You got the job
there was work to do -
And you dig it and you dig it

But waiting
there was someone waiting for you

Claiming a piece of everything that you do
It seems I've heard your story all before

Someone's standing knocking at your door

The early morning wake up call -
Your bags are packed and in the hall
The managers ran off with all the money that you made

You hit on the stage nearly every night

You worked around till you get it right -
And you dig it and you dig it
And then you signed for a record deal

And off you go on the music wheel -
And you dig it and you dig it
But waiting
there was someone waiting for you

The early monung wake up call -

You made the charts and all the hangers on were hanging on

Flashing knives behind your back
living in your money sack

And you were thinking you got it made

Waiting
there was someone waiting for you

Your record isn't selling well

the tickets to your shows don't sell

You look around and suddenly you find that you've got leprosy
The taxman's coming after you

your lawyer and your girlfriend
too

And the managers ran off with
all the money that you made
And you dig it and you dig it -
and you dig it and you dig it
