Tony came back to town with his cap and gown
That they give 'em at the state pen
Breaking and entering will do that
Tony's Mom said "He's only human"
Look what the cat dragged in from his next of kin
His little sister hugs the tin many Tony
She's grown, ain't she pretty in the little black dress?
He's diggin' up the heart
To know the price he paid
You can hear the train when you're in the cage
And you can smell the rain
And you can see the sagebrush threaten the highway
But you can't drive
And when he finally put the asphalt to the tire
Looked something like Sistine oil and fire ripping through the dark
He's diggin' up the heart
Diggin' up the heart
Diggin' up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Diggin' up the heart
One two three four five, oh me oh my
Count the reasons that you shouldn't be messing with the sons of perdition
Never gonna take you down the straight and narrow
Fever-dreaming of a place that you just can't get
Like you're burning in a pit
Little brother you're lying to yourself if you think you've changed
It's just another part
Ain't this something strange
When Tony left they were scratching at the door
In particular, one wanted him more
Her name was Christi, queen of Humboldt County
But 3 to 5 is a lifetime at that age
Christi met herself another boy, got engaged
Left him in the dark
He's diggin' up the heart
Diggin' up the heart
Diggin' up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Diggin' up the heart
He's diggin' up the heart
Diggin' up the heart
With a little luck when the times get rough
Diggin' up the heart
Now the clerk's got his hands up
But his mind's on the mark
The .38 beneath the register
He's diggin' up the heart
Diggin' up the heart
Diggin' up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Diggin' up the heart
He's diggin' up the heart
Diggin' up the heart
With a little luck when the times get rough
Diggin' up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Even boys can change
Diggin' up the heart
