In this poignant track, Randy Travis delves into the painful process of revisiting memories from a past relationship. The metaphor of "Diggin' Up Bones" represents the act of unearthing old emotions and artifacts that remind him of his lost love. Throughout the song, he interacts with physical mementos like photographs, love letters, and wedding rings, which serve as catalysts for his emotional journey. Each item brings a flood of memories, highlighting the struggle between wanting to remember the good times and needing to move on from the pain. The repeated chorus emphasizes the destructive yet irresistible pull of dwelling on what has been left behind, suggesting that while these actions might provide temporary solace, they ultimately prevent healing from a broken heart.
Diggin' Up Bones
Lyrics
Last night I dug your picture out from our old dresser drawer
I set it on the table and I talked to it 'til four
I read some old love letters right up 'til the break of dawn
Yeah, I've been sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
Then I went through the jewelry and I found our wedding rings
I put mine on my finger and I gave yours a fling
Across this lonely bedroom of our recent broken home
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones)
I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones)
Exhuming things that's better left alone
But I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
And I went through the closet and I found some things in there
Like that pretty negligee that I bought you to wear
And I recalled how good you looked each time you had it on
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones)
I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones)
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones)
I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones)
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones)
I'm diggin' up bones (diggin' up bones)
Exhuming things that's better left alone
I'm resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone
Yeah, tonight I'm sittin' alone, diggin' up bones
