[Verse 1]

Last night, I dug your picture out from my old dresser drawer

I set it on the table and I talked to it 'til four

I read some old love letters right up 'til the break of dawn

Yeah, I've been sittin' alone, diggin' up bones


[Verse 2]

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 (Diggin' up bones)

I'm diggin' up bones (Diggin' up bones)

Exhumin' things that's better left alone

I'm resurrectin' memories of a love that's dead and gone

Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones


[Verse 3]

And I went through the closet and I found some things in there

Like that pretty negligee that I bought you to wear

And I recall how good you looked each time you had it on

Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones


[Chorus]

I'm diggin' up bones (Diggin' up bones)

I'm diggin' up bones (Diggin' up bones)

Exhumin' things that's better left alone

I'm resurrectin' memories of a love that's dead and gone

Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones


[Bridge]

I'm resurrectin' memories of a love that's dead and gone

Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones (Diggin' up bones)


[Chorus]

I'm diggin' up bones (Diggin' up bones)

Exhumin' things that's better left alone

I'm resurrectin' memories of a love that's dead and gone

Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones (Diggin' up bones)

I'm diggin' up bones (Diggin' up bones)

Exhumin' things that's better left alone

I'm resurrectin' memories of a love that's dead and gone

Yeah, tonight, I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
