Chorus 1

Don't dig a foxhole

I'll build a new home

That would lie on pavement

Solid foundation

For a family you'll grow

Two daughters you'll show

How a dark place found light

How a heart might grow bright

Verse 3

same as first two)

If I was man enough to break your wrist

I'd send you back to rethink all who made your list

Of ones to care and call and fix from love

Mirror on the wall that won't release your right to trust

We're all the packs of souls we tried to save

Burn hot the bodies these souls have no hold on me

My love I'm crying I have never sold

The world the truth about this place

Just please don't you

Chorus 2

same as first)

Don't dig a foxhole

I'll build a new home

That would lie on pavement

Solid foundation

For a new way of life

For a point to survive

Don't dig a foxhole

I'll build a new home

That would lie on pavement

Solid foundation

For a family you'll grow

Two daughters you'll show

How a dark place found light

How a heart might grow bright

Bridge

While you're sleepless dream in memories of a time you felt alive

The warmth of life is precious to your eyes

Find a spot you plan to marry and bury it in deep dark earth

Return to it, come back here to me

Chorus 3

same as other two)

Don't dig a foxhole

I'll build a new home

That would lie on pavement

Solid foundation

For a family you'll grow

Two daughters you'll show

How a dark place found light

How a heart might grow bright

Don't dig a foxhole

I'll build a new home

That would lie on pavement

Solid foundation

For a new way of life

For a point to survive

Don't dig a foxhole

I'll build a new home

Would lie on pavement

Solid foundation

For a family you'll grow

Two daughters you'll show

How a dark place found light

And a heart might grow bright
