[Intro] *Bent-note riff bends and hangs, then detonates into full speed* [Verse 1] He rode in on a wave of heat Six strings loaded, ready to fire The ground shakes when he takes the stage The whole town's caught in the wire First chord hits like a hammer blow And the windows start to shake Everybody leans in close 'Cause the ground's about to break [Hook] Can you dig it? Can you dig it? Feel it in your bones Can you dig it? Can you dig it? Let the riff take you home [Chorus] Can you dig it! (can you dig it!) Loud and proud Can you dig it! (can you dig it!) Shake the ground He don't whisper, he don't wait He just detonates Can you dig it! (can you dig it!) Turn it up [Verse 2] There's a preacher with a battered axe Who traded sermons for a stack He baptizes in feedback now And he never looks back The choir hums the low E string While the thunder keeps the time And the crowd screams out his name tonight [Hook] Can you dig it? Can you dig it? Feel it in your bones Can you dig it? Can you dig it? Let the riff take you home [Chorus] Can you dig it! (can you dig it!) Loud and proud Can you dig it! (can you dig it!) Shake the ground He don't whisper, he don't wait He just detonates Can you dig it! (can you dig it!) Turn it up [Guitar Solo] *Screaming wailing lead — the guitar cries and screams* [Bridge] *low and mellow* Dig it (dig it) Dig it (dig it) Let the whole town feel it (dig it) Dig it (dig… it) [Breakdown] *stripped to bass and voice* He paused for a minute there And the silence stung our ears He grinned and hit the strings again And we knew he'd stay for years [Final Chorus] *full throat* Can you dig it! (can you dig it!) Loud and proud Can you dig it! (can you dig it!) Shake the ground He don't whisper, he don't wait He just detonated it all Can you dig it! (can you dig it!) Turn it up [Outro] *riff slows to a crawl, one last wailing bend* The amps cool… Can you dig it.
