Dark Black Coal (OurVinyl Sessions)
Well, you ain't got no life anymore
Each day in a dark coal mine
Working away every day
With your wife and kids on your mind
You wake up in the morning, grab your hard hat
Pray that you make it back home
Your body is aching and you just can't take it
Mining that dark black coal
Dark black coal, take my soul
I owe it to you anyways
Just don't let my children become the victims
Of the mountain's evil ways
And you miss being younger, a boy with a hunger
To get far away from this town
You never knew how or why or when
Just knew that you'd make it somehow
Now 20 years older, shoulder to shoulder
With boys who we're just like you
Spending their lives underground
Proving their collars are blue
Dark black coal, take my soul
I owe it to you anyways
Just don't let my children become the victims
Of the mountain's evil ways
Each day in a dark coal mine
Working away every day
With your wife and kids on your mind
You wake up in the morning, grab your hard hat
Pray that you make it back home
Your body is aching and you just can't take it
Mining that dark black coal
Dark black coal, take my soul
I owe it to you anyways
Just don't let my children become the victims
Of the mountain's evil ways
And you miss being younger, a boy with a hunger
To get far away from this town
You never knew how or why or when
Just knew that you'd make it somehow
Now 20 years older, shoulder to shoulder
With boys who we're just like you
Spending their lives underground
Proving their collars are blue
Dark black coal, take my soul
I owe it to you anyways
Just don't let my children become the victims
Of the mountain's evil ways
