Digging Holes and Setting Poles

Verse
I’m dancing with my lady … I’m thinking maybe … Love might be in the air
But I realize … when I open my eyes … I’m digging holes … and setting poles.
Verse
My mind keeps on drifting … and I keep on shifting … To places I would rather be
But when I come around … I’m not in that town … I’m digging holes … and setting poles.
Bridge
Working sunrise … to sunset … is making me feel older than I am
And if I could … you know I would … be holding you instead of hold up here
Verse
So, I concentrate … I don’t want to be late … Got to finish almost done
Think of where I’m going … all the time I’m knowing … I’m digging holes … and setting poles.
Bridge 2
It doesn’t matter … It’s mindless chatter … Sometimes I wonder will it end
I turn around … that’s when it’s found … hope up around the bend
I leave this farm behind … for a while I’ll find … dancing and drinking with my friends
Forget my chores … when I walk through the doors … to a place where the fun never ends.
Verse
I’m headed off to town … where my lady can be found … farm work is finally done
I’ve got to run have some fun and take a break … from digging holes … and setting poles.
Digging holes … and setting poles.
