Littleton Jones Been Diggin' lyrics

My sense of direction is not too good these days
Feels like I'm lost but they keep tellin' me I'm saved
They say I'm diggin' myself a hole and I say "yeah, I know"
It's crowded up here and I'd like to be alone

Been diggin' this hole of mine for way too long, for way too long
Hopin' to find a new world of my own

Rock, stone, and root and bone, too many dead ends
Didn't know this hole would have all these curves and bends
Lookin' back I shoulda dug right through instead of always goin' around
'Cause when I emerged you won't believe what I found

Been diggin' this hole of mine for way too long, for way too long

Hopin' to find a new world of my own

So many years of diggin' now the time had finally come
I poked my head through the earth above and I thought I saw the sun
But the light in my eyes was the flashlight of a prison guard
He said, "Welcome home boy. You didn't get too far."

Been diggin' this hole of mine for way too long, for way too long
Hopin' to find a new world of my own

My sense of direction is not too good these days
