Digging For Your Dream [Live]
Indigo Girls

Tryin' to remember the very last time

I felt a simple thing going past

Was it the day in north Georgia

When you were trying to take her back?

She sees the Day Lilies For Sale sign

And the tears spring to her eyes

You turn the car around and you're headed back down that track


She’s had a heart attack

but the bottle of Jack sits on the counter like the devil she knows

And he beats her up and she fills her cup the embers of a dyin' fire glow


See how she looked in her school year book

her friends signed the margins all around

But would you stay in touch you know I'll miss you so much

I hope we get out of this town


Every day that you get up and force your cards

Playing your story in fits and starts

Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down to the stream

And you bloody your hands digging for your dream



I went looking for the answers from someone I heard believes that life gets easier

And you learn how to breathe or you learn how to grieve your past

You study the masters and their books

Giving in to the barbs and hooks

Till you accept with grace that your true love doesn’t last


Every day that you get up and force your cards

Playing your story in fits and starts

Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down to the stream

And you bloody your hands digging for your dream


Every day that you get up and force your cards

You’re playing your story in fits and starts

Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down to the stream

And you bloody your hands digging for your dream


Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down

Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down

Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down
