Well, I ought to be working in a coal mine, neck deep in black long soot
G                                      C                   D
Swinging a pick at that mountain side, halfway to China, I think I would
G                                                         Am
Fit right in where the sun don't shine, she's better off alone
       C                        G               D                         G
Yeah I ought to be working in a coal mine, Lord knows I'm good at digging holes

       G
Well I ought to be drilling for the black gold, swimming in that Texas tea
I could make a killing all on my own selling my misfortune to a family
Cause when I hit rock bottom, the deeper down I go
Yeah, I ought to be drilling for the black gold, Lord knows I'm good at digging holes

Well I ought to be working for the railroads, sweat pouring off my back
Hauling away a heavy load, a far cry from heaven down a cold steel track
And I can't take her with me, she's better off without
Yeah I ought to be working for the railroads, Lord knows I'm good at leaving town

When it comes to love I ain't got a clue
                   D                   G
What this heart of mine is supposed to do
                 D                   C 
It tears me up inside what I put her through
                    D  D/C  D/B  D/A
Still she won't let go

Well I ought to make my living in a graveyard, over my head in dirt
If i had a shovel I'd bury this heart, six feet down and my last words 
ould be:"I never meant to hurt you, 'm better off a ghost"
Yeah, I ought to make my living in a graveyard, Lord knows I'm good at digging holes

Oh I ought to make my living in a graveyard, Lord knows I'm good at digging holes
