Last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer I set it on the table and I talked to it till four I read some old love letters right up till the break of dawn Yeah, I've been sittin' alone diggin' up bones
Then I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling Across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones
Chorus: I'm diggin' up bones I'm diggin' up bones Exhuming things that's better left alone I'm resurrecting mem'ries of a love that's dead and gone Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone Diggin' up bones
Then I went through the closet and I found some things in there Like that pretty negligee that I bought you to wear And I recalled how good you looked each time you had it on Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone diggin' up bones
