Digger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i cant remember the last time i felt this bad
and i didnt mean to throw it all away
i wanted to leave, but knew that i should stay

its the day after and im feeling sorry for myself
now i know the problem
and im gonna have to face it one day
turn around its in my eyes
im gonna try
i cant remember the last time i felt this mad
i cant believe im acting out this way
what was i thinking?i let you push me away





lets stop moving backwards and start running faster
forget the past when we broke down and start building us back up now

I love reading the comments from the experts that would probably never compete in this šŸ‘

@Jai S Robins best of luck with getting in the competition, not using an excavator lol.

Jai S Robins

@Joegeezly Luck has nothing to do with operating. While you move a Excavator Iā€™ll continue to operate.

Joegeezly

@Jai S Robins invite only for well known operators like me. Best of luck.

Jai S Robins

Iā€™ll compete and make this guy never want to hop in a Excavator ever again .
If the CAT challenge ever comes to Australia hit me up Iā€™m in

Hey, Awesome video mate.
You look super competent.
I'm thinking of undertaking excavator training, as a career change.
Is there any advice, tips or general pointers you may be able to think of that would benefit me knowing, prior booking a training facility..
Anything at all that comes to mind, you may be able to think of that perhaps will help me ...
Thanks very much

Nice job Tom! crazy how clean the material is down south compared to New England. When you use the 2D grade control can you over shoot your depth or does the machine stop itself from over excavating? I was impressed with how quickly the machine got tied into your selected grades.
