Everybody’s Got a Shovel

Everybody’s got a shovel to answer the call
I’ve got a 20-foot ladder for your 18-foot wall
It’s $8 an hour, or $8 a day
Everybody’s got a shovel, and everybody needs pay

It takes more than a bug screen to hold back the wind
And a whole lot a cowboys when the stampede begins
And there ain’t enough concrete to hold back the tide
Everybody’s got a shovel and everybody’s got pride

I work in the grape fields to make your fine wine
And I clean your toilets when you don’t have the time
And to change your baby’s diapers really isn’t a crime
I wait upon your table, would you wait upon mine

You got a real nice country and the people are fine
But if you don’t mind it, I’ll only be here a time
'Cause I miss the bright colors, the children running around
I miss the pre-dawn rooster of my grandfather’s town.
