My daddy was a lawyer who sold salvation to the church
And money's no good in heaven, but it's great down here on earth
So let's get down in the dirt Let's get down in the dirt
My granddad was a scholar in a school of heartbreak and hard work
He didn't believe in heaven, a damnation of being worse
He's laid down in the dirt He laid down in the dirt
You can't be that we're the only ones Born out of this ever-loving mind
You can't be that we're the only ones Grew up on this ever-loving sun
My mama was no angel, she was more than just a nurse
She thought it was a charity to keep us kids from getting hurt
Can't stay clean in the dirt Life is mean on this earth
I have no occupation, but I have some sense of worth
All the flowers blossom from what goes on in the dirt
So I get down in the dirt Let's get down in the dirt
You can't be that we're the only ones Born out of this ever-loving mind
You can't be that we're the only ones Grew up on this ever-loving sun
They say that love is just a name to save a man
It's not so shallow, you must dig to bring it out
So let's get down in the dirt Let's get down in the dirt
Let's get down in the dirt
They say that love is just a name to save a man
It's not so shallow, you must dig to bring it out
So let's get down in the dirt Let's get down in the dirt
