Back to God's Country
Back to God's country they said
It's better in the city
I'm sure to find my future
At least this is what they said
My father worked the mines
Darkness is the world below
So hard is the labor
How long will he endure
Want to go back to God's country
All of my life I need to stay
Where it is the only place that I feel safe
I must return to the world I know, I will go
One day they cut the wages
No more money to be made
We were left to manage
On half our weekly pay
Oh man these times were tough
On Black Friday it got rough
They were in such a rage
Like a lion in a cage
Want to go back to God's country
All of my life I need to stay
Where it is the only place that I feel safe
I must return to the world I know, I will go
Disaster struck in winter
Rocks fell down the shaft
They searched for thirty hours
Still there was no sign
My father buried in the ground
Inside this shaft they found
Even though his time is done
I know mine that just begun
Want to go back to God's country
All of my life I need to stay
Where it is the only place that I feel safe
I must return to the world I know, I will go
Want to go back to God's country
All of my life I need to stay
Where it is the only place that I feel safe
I must return to the world I know, I will go
It's better in the city
I'm sure to find my future
At least this is what they said
My father worked the mines
Darkness is the world below
So hard is the labor
How long will he endure
Want to go back to God's country
All of my life I need to stay
Where it is the only place that I feel safe
I must return to the world I know, I will go
One day they cut the wages
No more money to be made
We were left to manage
On half our weekly pay
Oh man these times were tough
On Black Friday it got rough
They were in such a rage
Like a lion in a cage
Want to go back to God's country
All of my life I need to stay
Where it is the only place that I feel safe
I must return to the world I know, I will go
Disaster struck in winter
Rocks fell down the shaft
They searched for thirty hours
Still there was no sign
My father buried in the ground
Inside this shaft they found
Even though his time is done
I know mine that just begun
Want to go back to God's country
All of my life I need to stay
Where it is the only place that I feel safe
I must return to the world I know, I will go
Want to go back to God's country
All of my life I need to stay
Where it is the only place that I feel safe
I must return to the world I know, I will go
