lyrics

in the dirt

gonna dig down in the dirt
get it all over my skin
sleep real well and up with the birds
do it all over again

dig down, dig down
way, way down in the ground

gonna dig down in dirt
feel it between my toes
gonna find out what every farmer knows
way down in the dirt

dig down, dig down
way, way down in the ground

gonna dig down in the dirt
plant good things to eat
gonna heel it in with my own two feet
yeah, down in the dirt

dig down, dig down
way, way down in the ground

gonna dig down in the dirt
where all the good things grow
gonna have a talk with mother earth
she knows how to soothe my soul

gonna dig down in the dirt
get it all over my skin
sleep real well and up with the sun
do it all over again

dig down, dig down
way, way down in the ground
dig down, dig down
way, way down in the ground

what you gonna do when you've had enough
when the bills pile up
when the water's too deep
when the hill's too steep

what you gonna do with a head full of bees
when you're tired of saying please
in a world full of schemes
to remember your dreams

what you gonna do when the baby can't sleep
when you're too tired to weep
when the motor won't run
when you're feeling done

dig down, dig down

about

Karen Savoca Oneida, New York

Karen’s baby diary reads, "20 months, knows 6 songs." Her mother, a big band singer, was not surprised to find her constantly dancing and singing.

"A voice with this much strength and easy confidence is a rare find. Her songs are filled with good humor, sensuality and nature's simple pleasures. She can work a sly smile into a lyric that makes you smile in spite of yourself." All Music Guide
