Hands In The Dirt Meaning

[[Verse 1]
I got tired of living with depression
So I went for a little walk
I came upon a woman under the bridge
Making money reading tarot cards
She said, “I can tell when you’re lying
But I know you’ve been telling the truth
I know you ain’t said a prayer in years
Since you were living in your mama’s roost
Well the Devil he works in mysterious ways
And he knows when you’re out of fight
You need to pick your soul up from out of the filth
And make him think that you’re living right”

[Chorus]
Oh, you need to walk on back to the country
Honey, put your hands in the dirt
Your daddy always said, “when your dream gets dead
Pick you ass up and go to work”

[Verse 2]
She said, “I see you quit school after two hard years
Took it easy out on the road
But rolling your dice with them neon lights
Has got you saying, ‘heck, now I know’
That you don’t need love or a higher education
To make it big selling tapes
Cause if you pull a big crowd or you settle on down
That’s icing on the weeding cake
Sugar, that’s icing on the wedding cake”
, [Chorus]
So why don’t you run back to the country
And put your hands in the dirt
Your daddy always said, “when your dream gets dead
Then pick you ass up and go to work”

Oh, you need to run on back to the country
And put your hands in the dirt
Your daddy always said, “when your dream gets dead
Then pick you ass up and go to work”
Oh, you need to run on back to the country
And put your hands in the dirt
Your daddy always said, “when your dream gets dead
Wake your ass up and go to work”
Oh, your daddy always said, “when your dream gets dead
Then wake your ass up and go to work”]
