In The Dirt
By Paul Moeller

I didn't get the message
Just thought I did
Weaving down the wild side
A stupid kid
Coming up the ropes
Learning from the pros
Don't feel a thing
Til they punch you in the nose

Daddy said son if you wanna be strong
You've gotta learn to play along
Momma said boy you're gonna get hurt
If you don't stop playin... in the dirt

She didn't get the message
We're soulmates.. can't you see
But all those guys kicked to the curb
Kinda looked like me
Don't always see it coming
When you should
Might taste delicious
Sure don’t mean it's good

Daddy said son if you wanna be strong
You've gotta learn to play along
Momma said boy you're gonna get hurt
If you don't stop playin... in the dirt

They didn't get the message
When I scooped up all those funds
Quick couple mouse clicks
I stay away from guns
Now I'm running for high office
Just one more hustle
I've got deep pockets
I've got the muscle

Daddy said son if you wanna be strong
You've gotta learn to play along
Momma said boy you're gonna get hurt
If you don't stop playin... in the dirt

Daddy said son if you wanna be strong
You've gotta learn to play along
I've rolled the sleeves up on my shirt
So c'mon down here, join me.... in the dirt
