[Verse 1]
My daddy was a lawyer who sold salvation to the church
Your money's no good in heaven, but it's great down here on earth
So let's get down in the dirt
Let's get down in the dirt

[Verse 2]
My granddad was a scholar in the school of heartbreak and hard work
He didn't believe in heaven or damnation being worse
He's laid down in the dirt
He laid down in the dirt

[Chorus]
It can't be that we're the only ones
Born out of this ever-loving mud
It can't be that we're the only ones
That grеw up from this ever-loving sun

[Verse 3]
My mama was no angel, shе was more than just a nurse
She thought it was a charity to keep us kids from getting hurt
Can't stay clean in the dirt
Life is mean on this earth

[Verse 4]
I have no occupation, but I have some sense of worth
All the flowers blossom from what goes on in the dirt
So I get down in the dirt
Let's get down in the dirt
[Chorus]
It can't be that we're the only ones
Born out of this ever-loving mud
It can't be that we're the only ones
That grew up from this ever-loving sun

[Bridge]
They say that love is just the thing to save a man
It's not so shallow, you must dig to bring it out
So let's get down in the dirt
Let's get down in the dirt

[Outro]
They say that love is just the thing to save a man
It's not so shallow, you must dig to bring it out
So let's get down in the dirt
Let's get down in the dirt
