about

'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 under its original title I Take The Shovel And Dig Next To Where You're Lain! at all three of Danny's June 2012 acoustic comeback gigs (and possibly at some gigs later in 2012), with its first ever performance on June 1st. In July 2016 the title got changed, and with it one line of the refrain. After not having been played live for about four years it reappeared on the set list on September 10, 2016 (shortly after the Back With A Dungeon! EP came out), and got played 22 times until October 9, 2021. The song was done one last time on December 2, 2022.'

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
