[record crackle Lazy funk loop fades in] Boots in the mud Sun on my neck Same old story Bigger damn mess I’m up before the rooster Coffee in a rusty cup Barn door hanging sideways Still I’m the one shows up Cow crap on my Carhartt Boss barking “move that pile” I just lean on this shovel Give him that crooked smile I’m just shovelin’ shit Shovelin’ shit all day long From the pen to the porch to the payphone I deal with shit at work On the farm At home But I shovel that shit and I like it Yeah that’s right (oh yeah) I’m good at it Built for it Born for this No one deals shit like I do I’m the big shit Ha-ha That’s my gift Shovelin’ shit That’s what I do Boss man stacks his problems Right there by my truck Says “Son You’re in deep now” I just say “That’s my luck” Girlfriend on my voicemail Talkin’ ’bout the rent come due I just scrape off my boots ’Cause that’s all I ever do You got drama? You got dirt? Drop it in a heap Right here in my shirt I don’t flinch I don’t quit I just roll my sleeves And I handle that— Shovelin’ shit Shovelin’ shit all day long From the feed store fights to her late-night phone I deal with shit at work On the farm At home But I shovel that shit and I like it Yeah that’s right (hey!) I’m good at it Built for it Born for this No one deals shit like I do I’m the big shit Ha-ha That’s my gift Shovelin’ shit That’s what I do I got city boys talkin’ But they don’t know this grind They ain’t scraped off heartbreak With a paycheck on the line You can keep your clean white sneakers Keep your little office chair I’ll be out back in the stink and the steam ’Cause my kingdom’s out there [Beat Break] [DJ scratching over bass and claps] (shovel that, shovel that, uh) (shovel that, shovel that, yeah) I’m just shovelin’ shit Shovelin’ shit all day long From the lies they sell to the love that’s gone I deal with shit at work On the farm At home But I shovel that shit and I like it Yeah that’s right (oh yeah) I’m good at it Built for it Born for this No one deals shit like I do I’m the big shit Ha-ha That’s my gift Shovelin’ shit That’s what I do Boots by the doorway Shovel by the shed Whole world up to its neck I’m just one step ahead Laughin’ in the stink Whistlin’ my tune Shovelin’ shit ‘Til the big man calls me soon
