Description: This song digs deep into its americana roots, shoveling down into all the grit that can come from a violin, viola, bass, piano, and voice. This song is a story of never giving up, and turning a gravesite into a garden where something new can grow.

Lyrics: You handed me a shovel Said I dug my own grave Well, tell me friend Is that any old way to behave? You handed me a shovel And you pushed me in You said, "Look at your shovel Look at your sin." Ohh.. You kicked in the dirt And you got it in my eyes I guess this is your way Of exchanging goodbyes You turned around And left me in the mess You said, "Go and ask your God 'Bout your self righteousness." Well I'm not a quitter I'm not a cheater I'm no gravedigger I'm a forgiver I am a sinner But I got a Savior He is my maker, yeah Ohh... Did you know that I am a seed? I stretch and grow From the blood that I bleed A seed must be crushed in order to grow I get enough of that from the hurt that you sow Well I'm not a quitter I'm not a cheater I'm no gravedigger I'm a forgiver I am a sinner But I got a Savior He is my maker, yeah Ohh... We are made from the dust and we reap what we sow You have planted me here and you bet I will grow Yeah the seasons have changed, and I'm changing too I will take what you throw and all I've learned from you Well I'm not a quitter I'm not a cheater I'm no gravedigger I'm a forgiver I am a sinner But I got a Savior Who is your maker? Yeah Don't be mean baby, walk all over me baby We're all human baby, don't be mean baby
