How long are you gonna try to hide your heart?
Girl, you pull me in close, but you only let me go so far
I can see that diamond shinning bright, but it´s buried in the coal mine dark

How long are you gonna try to hide your heart?

Baby, I would dig down
To the bottom of the cold ground
Under the roots of your hometown
Where your skeletons live
Come on, let me show you what I´m worth
Put these never quitting hands to work
I ain´t afraid of a little dirt
Girl, your love´s a gift
And I ain´t afraid to dig
I ain´t afraid to dig

Can you take me behind blue eyes
And long blonde hair?
What you dream while you cry
Where you run when you get scared

Every inch I dig gonna make me rich
´Cause I know there´s gold in there
Can you take me behind blue eyes
And long blonde hair? Baby, I swear

I would dig down
To the bottom of the cold ground
Under the roots of your hometown
Where your skeletons live
Come on, let me show you what I´m worth
Put these never quitting hands to work
I ain´t afraid of a little dirt
Girl, your love´s a gift
And I ain´t afraid to dig

How long are you gonna try to hide your heart?

Girl, you pull me in close, but you only let me go so far

Baby, I would dig down
To the bottom of the cold ground
Under the roots of your hometown
Where your skeletons live
Come on, let me show you what I´m worth
Put these never quitting hands to work
I ain´t afraid of a little dirt
Girl, your love´s a gift
And I ain´t afraid to dig
I ain´t afraid to dig
