lyrics

Grave Digger

Her bags were packed, the dishes stacked
At ten to four she'd shut the door with no look back
Down in the mine he'd be til nine
By that time she'd be across the county line
She could not make believe no more
She picked her bag up off the floor
And left...

But what poor luck, there sat his truck,
That Chevrolet done blocked her way now she was stuck
She turned to leave, he begged please don't
She tried to go, he said no, you won't,
He said, "I am the
Trigger, and you're the
Grave digger"

He said, "You're the shovel, I'm the lead
I broke my back to keep you fed
I'll never let you leave my bed
You know I'd sooner see you dead
Because I am the
Trigger, and you're the
Grave digger"

She had been torn, since she was born
A little girl fresh in this world too wise and worn
A desert rose, sand in her bones
Heaven knows it's hot in hell, that's how it goes
She dreamed of water, wind and rain
And someplace cold to ease her pain

When time stands still, the sands will spill
Where there's a way there is a will and time to kill
He went south, six feet down
She headed north, she left this town, she won't be found
She said I am the
Trigger and you're the
Grave digger"

She said "You're the shovel, I'm the lead
I broke my back to keep you fed
Now one of us will wake up dead
Before I go, I'll burn that bed
Now I am the
Trigger and you're the
Grave digger"

She said "you're the shovel, I'm the lead
You bit the hand that kept you fed
My hands are tied, my heard is dead
Lie down now, you made your bed
I am the
Trigger and you're the
Grave digger

{Instrumental}

Yes I am the trigger...
And you're the grave digger...

about

Jessie Wesloh Missoula, montana

Raised in the pines of northwest Montana on Pabst Blue Ribbon, wood fires, and Willie Nelson records, Jessie Wesloh serves up unpretentious stories of lovers, liars, and losers, darkened by the rural realities of violence and substance abuse. Wesloh pulls influences from the Nashville Sound to the Bakersfield Sound to Outlaw Country, for unvarnished songs no one can say aren't "real country." ... more
