| 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
|
| 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 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
|
| You do the tours and the interviews
|
| You meet the press and you’re in the news —
|
| And you dig it, and you dig it
|
| You hear your song on the radio
|
| You see your face on the TV shows
|
| And you dig it, and you dig it
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
