(Paul Overstreet/Al Gore/Nat Stuckey)

Well Last Night I Dug Your Picture Out From Our Old Dresser Drawer
I Set It On The Table And I Talked To It Til Four
Then I Read Some Old Love Letters Right Up Til The Break Of Dawn
Well Tonight I'm Sittin Alone Diggin Up Bones

I'm A Diggin Up Bones
Exhuming Things That's Better Left Alone
I'm Resurrecting Memories Of A Love That's Dead And Gone
Well Tonight I'm Sittin Alone Diggin Up Bones

Then I Went Through The Closet And I Found Some Things In There
Like That Pretty Lingerie That I Bought You To Wear
Then I Recalled How Good You Looked Each Time You Had It On
Well Tonight I'm 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
Well Tonight I'm Sittin Alone Diggin Up Bones

I'm A Diggin Up Bones
Exhuming Things That's Better Left Alone
I'm Resurrecting Memories Of A Love That's Dead And Gone
Well Tonight I'm Sittin Alone Diggin Up Bones
