Tony came back to town
With his cap and gown
That they give him at the state pen
Breaking and entering will do that
Tony's mama said, "he's only human"
Look what the cat dragged in
From his next of kin
His little sister hugs the tin man
Tony, she's grown
And she's pretty, in her little black dress
He's digging up the heart
To know the price he paid
You can hear the train
When you're in the cage
And you can smell the rain
And you can see the sagebrush
Threaten the highway
But you can't drive
And when you finally put the asphalt to the tire
Looks something like Sistine oil and fire
Ripping through the dark
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Well, it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Digging up the heart
One, two, three, four, five
Oh, me, oh, my
Count the reasons that you shouldn't be messing
With the sons of perdition
Never gonna take you down
The straight and narrow
We've been dreaming of a place
That you just can't get
Like you'reburning in a pit
Little brother, you're lying to yourself
If you think you've changed
It's just another heart
Ain't there something strange
When Tony left
They were scratching at the door
In particular, one wanted him more
Her name was Christie
Queen of Humboldt County
But three to five is a lifetime at that age
Christie met herself another boy, got engaged
Left him in the dark
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Well, it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
He's digging up the heart
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
With a little luck
When the times gets rough
Digging up the heart
Well the clerk's got his hands up
But his mind's on the mark
The .38 beneath the register
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
Well, it ain't that strange
Any boy can change
Digging up the heart
He's digging up the heart
Digging up the heart
With a little luck
When the times gets rough
Digging up the heart
Well it ain't that strange
Even boys can change
Digging up the heart

Tony came back to town
With his cap and gown
That they give him at the state pen
Breaking and entering will do that

Look what the cat dragged in

And she's pretty, in her little black dress

And you can smell the rain
And you can see the sagebrush
Threaten the highway
But you can't drive
And when you finally put the asphalt to the tire
Looks something like Sistine oil and fire
