I Bury Problems for a Living (Desert)

Intro Everybody's got a job. Mine just needs a shovel.

Verse 1 Some men fix a problem with a lawyer Some men fix it with a handshake and a check Me, I got a simpler kind of order And it don't leave a paper trail or wreck I keep a shovel in the bed of the truck Keep the low ground marked where the arroyo bends Ain't a threat, friend — it's a trade, it's my luck It's the only honest work this desert lends

Chorus I bury problems for a living Got a shovel and a reason and a truck You became a problem this evening And baby, you just ran clean out of luck

Verse 2 Don't take it personal, hell, it's a job Same as any man who clocks in at dawn Some men punch a card, some men rob — I just make the loud ones quiet, then I'm gone

Chorus I bury problems for a living Got a shovel and a reason and a truck You became a problem this evening And baby, you just ran clean out of luck

Bridge The desert never asks me for a name The caliche don't need to know the why Every problem weighs about the same By the time the sun comes climbin' up the sky I bury problems for a living Got a shovel and a reason and a truck You became a problem this evening And baby, you just ran clean out of luck

Outro Sun's comin' up. Better get to diggin'.
