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
