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
