'This country tune is about a murderer who takes his shovel with him when he goes out in the weekend. He buries his victims in shallow graves, and claims to have done so on numerous occasions. In the past this song has been played live a few times under its oriignal title I Take The Shovel And Dig Next To Where You're Lain! at all three of Danny's June 2012 gigs, with its first ever performance on June 1st. In July 2016 the title got changed (and with it one line of the refrain).'
Lyrics
These long and dusty roads I traveled
Have dug me many shallow graves
It's been so many I lost track of
And I don't know how much still wait
Chorus:
I am here to murder and I am here to stay
'Cause when I killed somebody I can't just walk away
So I dig a shallow grave in which you will decay
It's not a proper burial, but still it's quite okay
If I decide your time has come
Then I shall make sure it will
I take my shovel and my gun
This weekend I need time to kill
Chorus
