Diggin' You Up

Well
When you live like a king, But you die like a dog
Your riches tempt me as I trudge through the fog
In the stillness of night, your crown calls my name
Through whispers of gold, I dig without shame

I'll be digging you up.
I'll be digging you up.
'Cause you can't take it with you when you go
I'll be digging you up.

Your story ends there, but mine's just begun
In decay and dust, I'm the fortunate one
In the still of the night under a moonlit glow
Whispers of echoes from years long ago
Where secrets lie hidden beneath the soil
I'm driven by the lure and the promise of spoil

I said you can't take it with you when you go
Can't take it with you when you go
Can't take it with you when you go
I'll be diggin' you up

Well
Your house is all gone
Your family moved on
And you're left with nothin' but dust
Your children grew old
Your dog is dead too
But it's not all bad news
Your treasures are safe
At least for a while
But I'm knees deep in the ground
With a spade and a smile

'Cause you can't take it with you when you go
Can't take it with you when you go
Can't take it with you when you go
I'll be diggin' you up

In the dark of the night, beneath the old oak tree
The secrets you buried are calling to me
With every shovel full, memories rise
When I find what you hid, I'll claim my prize

You're not complainin', you won't make a fuss
Your silence is golden, no need to discuss
From dusk to daylight, I unearth the past
As your secrets unfold, revealed at last

You don't need it now, so why let it rot?
I'll take what you left, I'll claim the lot.
I dig for your past, while you're cold in the ground
The riches you left, they are soon to be found

I said you can't take it with you when you go
Can't take it with you when you go
Can't take it with you when you go
Can't take it with you when you go
Can't take it with you when you go
I'll be diggin' you up
I'll be diggin' you up

With treasures in hand and a satisfied sigh
In the shadowy light, I'll say my goodbye
I thank you for your kindness, for sharing your wealth
As I walk away, I toast to your health.
In the quiet of the night, my work here is done,
With your secrets unearthed, I've finally won.
