The Shovel

[Verse 1: Trisha Yearwood]
We were sittin' in a booth at the Waffle House
When in walked a blue-eyed beauty with long, tanned legs
I said, "Don't she look cute?" as your head spun 'round
And without thinkin' twice, you said, "Hell, yes"

[Pre-Chorus: Trisha Yearwood]
The look I gave you started your decline
Well, honey, you should quit while you're behind

[Chorus: Trisha Yearwood & Jim Lauderdale, Trisha Yearwood]
Step away from the shovel 'cause you're diggin' you a hole
And the more you keep talkin', the deeper and deeper you go
Well, the more your lips keep movin', the more ground that you keep losin'
So before you get more in trouble, step away from the shovel

[Verse 2: Trisha Yearwood & Jim Lauderdale, Trisha Yearwood & Jim Lauderdale]
Sometimes, when a woman asks what you think
Well, that don't mean she really wants to know (You're tellin' me, girl)
You should've kept eatin' them onion rings
You've ruined our meal, it's all your fault, let's go

[Pre-Chorus: Trisha Yearwood, Trisha Yearwood & Jim Lauderdale, Jim Lauderdale]
And even in the car on our way home
You said you only liked what she had on (I was talkin' about the dress)
Seriously?

[Chorus: Trisha Yearwood & Jim Lauderdale, Trisha Yearwood]
Step away from the shovel 'cause you're diggin' you a hole
And the more you keep talkin', the deeper and deeper you go
Well, the more your lips keep movin', the more ground that you keep losin'
So before you get more in trouble, step away from the shovel

[Bridge: Trisha Yearwood & Jim Lauderdale, Trisha Yearwood]
Well, I don't expect you
To read my mind, until I do
And right now, I'm tellin' you

[Chorus: Trisha Yearwood & Jim Lauderdale, Trisha Yearwood]
Step away from the shovel 'cause you're diggin' you a hole
And the more you keep talkin', the deeper and deeper you go
Well, the more your lips keep movin', the more ground you keep on losin'
So before you get more in trouble, step away from the shovel

[Outro: Trisha Yearwood & Jim Lauderdale]
Before you bury yourself in the rubble
Step away from the shovel
