16 Horsepower - Heel on the Shovel Lyrics

Artist: 16 Horsepower

Album: Sackcloth 'N' Ashes

  • Songwriters: David Eugene Edwards, Kevin Soll, Jean-yves Tola

I'm diggin' you a shallow grave
And to the sun your face, I'll raise
I'm diggin' you a shallow grave
One hundred buzzards buzzin'

I seen death hangin' from the tallest tree
Eyes closed, no lookin' back at me
Yeah, they came and took him in the night
The one who kissed 'em was greed

Oh, everyone will see and everyone will know
That boy, you reap what you sow
Everyone will see and everyone will know
That boy, you reap what you sow

I'm diggin' you a shallow grave
And on your rotten bones, I'll raise
Yellow daisies for my true loves hair
One hundred buzzards buzzin'

I see death runnin' from his majesty
Oh, Lord where is the fear in me
In between your praying hands
You hold the skeleton key

Everyone will see and everyone will know
That boy, you reap what you sow
Everyone will see and everyone will know
That boy, you reap what you sow
