Digging Stone

[CALEB]
You grow up fast, pay your dues
Learn to walk in your father's shoes
Build a home, take a wife
Settle in with the workin' life

Shoulder to shoulder
Digging stone
Pay hard cash for all you own
A man is more than blood and bone
When he's shoulder to shoulder
Digging stone

Then hard times come to town
Shake your hand and-a shut you down
Set you up just to watch you fall
Kick you hard and make you crawl

Where are the days
When a man could lift his head?
Proud of the way
He earned his daily bread

Shoulder to shoulder
Digging stone
Pay hard cash for all you own
A man is more than blood and bonе
When he's shoulder to shouldеr
Digging stone

You stand back up, get knocked down
Watch as a stranger takes your town
Suck it in and you swallow lies
Something deep in your belly dies

What does it take
For a man to feel some pride?
Not lie awake
Wishin' for a hole to hide?

Shoulder to shoulder
Digging stone
Pay hard cash for all you own
A man is more than blood and bone
When he's shoulder to shoulder—

I grew up strong, paid my dues
Tried to walk in Eli's shoes
Shoes don't fit, foot's too small
Maybe I ain't a man at all
Maybe I ain't a man at all
