[Verse 1] Well, I ought to be working in a coal mine Neck deep in black lung soot Swinging a pick at that mountain side Halfway to China, I think I would Fit right in where the sun dont shine Shes better off alone Yeah I ought to be working in a coal mine Lord knows Im good at digging holes [Verse 2] Well I ought to be drilling for that black gold Swimming in that Texas tea I could make a killing all on my own Selling my misfortune to a family Cause when I hit rock bottom The deeper down I go Yeah, I ought to be drilling for that black gold Lord knows Im good at digging holes [Verse 3] Well I ought to be working for the railroads Sweat pouring off my back Hauling away a heavy load Its a far cry from heaven down a cold steel track And I cant take her with me Shes better off without Yeah I ought to be working for the railroads Lord knows Im good at leaving town See Brent Cobb LiveGet tickets as low as 25You might also like[Bridge] When it comes to love I aint got a clue What this heart of mine is supposed to do It tears me up inside what I put her through Still she wont let go [Verse 4] Well I ought to make my living in a graveyard Over my head in dirt If I had a shovel Id bury this heart Six feet down and my last words would be I never meant to hurt you Im better off a ghost Yeah, I ought to make my living in a graveyard Lord knows Im good at digging holes Oh I ought to make my living in a graveyard Lord knows Im good at digging holes
