Lyrics:

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'

Chorus:
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
This ain't the gospel
But i swear it's true
Brother how you use it
Man that's up to you

Chorus:
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
