Digging for Your Dream Lyrics


Tryna remember the very last time
I felt a simple thing going past
Was it the day in Old Georgia
You were tryna take a bath?She sees the daylilies post inside
And the tears spring to her eyes
You turn the car around and you're
Headed back down that track
She's had a heart attackBut the bottle of Jack sits on the counter
Like the devil she knows
And he beats her up and she fills her cup
In the ambers of a dime fire glowSee how she looked in her school year book
Her friends signed imagines all around
But would you stay in touch you know
I miss you so much and I hope we get out of this townEvery day that you get up and force your cards
You're playin' your story in fits and stars
You take your prospects and your pickaxe
And you trudge down to the stream
And you bloody your hands diggin' for your dreamI went lookin' for the answers from someone

I heard believes that life gets easier
And you learn how to breathe and you learn
How to grieve your pastYou study the masters and their books
Givin' in to the barbs and hooks
Till you except it with grace
When your true love doesn't lastEvery day that you get up and force your cards
You're playin' your story in fits and stars
You take your prospects and your pickaxe
And you trudge down to the stream
And you bloody your hands diggin' for your dreamEvery day that you get up and force your cards
You're playin' your story in fits and stars
Your take your prospects and your pickaxe
And you trudge down to the stream
And you bloody your hands diggin' for your dreamEvery day, every day that you go down, down, down
You will bloody, you will bloody your hands
Take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down
You take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down
You take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down
You take your prospects and your pickaxe and you trudge down

The Indigo Girls are Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. They met on the playground in grammar school in Decatur, Georgia, USA, and have been playing together since high school.

Their first release in 1985 was a seven-inch single named "Crazy Game", with the B-side "Everybody's Waiting (for Someone to Come Home)". That same year, the Indigo Girls released a six-track Extended play album named "Indigo Girls", and in 1987 released their first full-length album, Strange Fire, recorded at John Keane Studio in Athens, Georgia, and including "Crazy Game". With this release, they secured the services of Russell Carter, who remains their manager to the present; they had first approached him when the EP album was released, but he told them their songs were "immature" and they were not likely to get a record deal.

They were signed to Epic Records in 1989 and won the Grammy for best contemporary folk album later that year (for their self titled release) Some of their hit songs include "Galileo," "Closer to Fine," and "Shame on You."

Aside from being musicians, Ray and Saliers are activists, constantly supporting causes like gun control, women's rights, Native American rights, environmental protection, the abolition of the death penalty, and as lesbians themselves, LGBT rights. They constantly devote their time and money to such causes, often playing benefit concerts.

Ray and Saliers both have side projects. Ray owns and founded Daemon Records, an independent label based in Decatur. She also has a career as a solo artist, and has released two albums thus far. Saliers is the part owner of Watershed, a restaurant and wine bar in Decatur.

Together, the Indigo Girls are constantly touring. Their new album, Poseidon and the Bitter Bug, was released March 24, 2009.
