| You saw a sign on a pick up truck
 | 
| You bought a guitar with a borrowed buck —
 | 
| And you dig it, and you dig it
 | 
| They liked your songs
 | 
| They were hot for you
 | 
| You got the job
 | 
| There was work to do —
 | 
| And you dig it, and you dig it
 | 
| But waiting
 | 
| There was someone waiting for you
 | 
| Claiming a piece of everything that you do
 | 
| It seems I’ve heard your story all before
 | 
| Someone’s standing knocking at your door
 | 
| The early morning wake up call —
 | 
| Your bags are packed and in the hall
 | 
| The managers ran off with all
 | 
| The money that you made
 | 
| You hit on the stage nearly every night
 | 
| You worked around till you get it right —
 | 
| And you dig it, and you dig it
 | 
| And then you signed for a record deal
 | 
| And off you go on the music wheel —
 | 
| And you dig it, and you dig it
 | 
| But waiting
 | 
| There was someone waiting for you
 | 
| Claiming a piece of everything that you do
 | 
| It seems I’ve heard your story all before
 | 
| Someone’s standing knocking at your door
 | 
| The early morning wake up call —
 | 
| Your bags are packed and in the hall
 | 
| The managers ran off with all
 | 
| The money that you made
 | 
| You made the charts and all the
 | 
| Hangers on were hanging on
 | 
| Flashing knives behind your back
 | 
| Living in your money sack
 | 
| And you were thinking you got it made
 | 
| You do the tours and the interviews
 | 
| You meet the press and you’re in the news —
 | 
| And you dig it, and you dig it
 | 
| You hear your song on the radio
 | 
| You see your face on the TV shows
 | 
| And you dig it, and you dig it
 | 
| Waiting
 | 
| There was someone waiting for you
 | 
| Claiming a piece of everything that you do
 | 
| It seems I’ve heard your story all before
 | 
| Someone’s standing knocking at your door
 | 
| Your record isn’t selling well
 | 
| The tickets to your shows don’t sell
 | 
| You look around and suddenly
 | 
| You find that you’ve got leprosy
 | 
| The taxman’s coming after you
 | 
| Your lawyer and your girlfriend too
 | 
| And the managers ran off with
 | 
| All the money that you made
 | 
| And you dig it, and you dig it
 | 
| And you dig it, and you dig it |
