[Verse 1]
Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me
I got a mouth full of rotten and a heart full of greed
Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt
Well, it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt
Alright!
[Verse 2]
Cowboy hats and crooked teeth
With a six shooting pistol just out of my reach
Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt
Well, it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt
[Chorus]
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
Alright!
[Verse 3]
Well, demons pull me side to side again
Yeah, but I'm scared of sleeping, I hate my friends
Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt
Well, it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt
[Chorus]
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
[Bridge]
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
I put a banjo up into the sky
[Chorus]
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
'Cause if we all die young, then we don't get hurt
[Outro]
Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me
I got a sick shooting pistol and I'm ready to leave
