Wiregrass Songtext
von Stoney LaRue

Down in the wiregrass
Where the water don′t run
Diggin' through dry sand
Searching for blood
Lord, it′s hard to make a living
And it's nothing new
But you got to change your thinking
When it don't come to you

I was told to get busy
Roll up my sleeve
Yeah, to shield your spirit
In your time of need
Take wise′s council
Man to man
Straight from my heart
Friend to friend


If you keep on digging
In that shifting sand
You can dig to China
Never find dry land
No this ain′t the gospel
But I swear it's true
Brother, how you use it
Man, that′s up to you, now

'Cause I was told to get busy
Roll up my sleeve
Yeah, to shield your spirit
In your time of need
Take wise′s council
Man to man
Straight from my heart
Friend to friend

I was told to get busy
Roll up my sleeve
Yeah, to shield your spirit
In your time of need
Take wise's council
Man to man
Straight from my heart


Friend to friend, oh
Friend to friend
Shield your spirit, mm
Well, well, mm
Well, well, well, well
