lyrics

STANDING BY A HOLE


Frank was one of the fellas
Just an ordinary guy
He worked for the City, wasn’t that pretty
He never stopped and wonder’d why

His passion was for hockey and Tim Horton's coffee
Giving piggy back rides to the kids
He worked for the “Department of Public Entertainment”
Digging holes, then fillin’ them in

CHORUS: Standing by a hole, they’re standing by a hole
It’s rain’ slightly, standing by a hole
One foot resting, on the old banjo
The whole crew, standing by a hole

“Well you never give much thought, maybe I shoulda been a cop
Riding around in a lotta chrome"
But it wouldn’t feel as good, as good as it could
Good as standing by a hole


From the cradle to the grave from the mouthes of babes
Kids love playin’ in the dirt
It feels like a party, a real tailgate party
And nobody ever gets hurt.

CHORUS: Standing by a hole, they’re standing by a hole
And it’s rain’ slightly, standing by a hole
One foot resting, on the old banjo
The whole crew, standing by a hole

( Instrumental verse )

CHORUS: Standing by a hole, they’re standing by a hole
And it’s rain’ slightly, standing by a hole
Windows rolled down, listening to the truck radio
The whole crew, standing by a hole
