Up In Rags

Up in Rags

By the rusted gate you say they're down
I'm listening now
In this muddy town
My weary diesel engine coughs to life in soft half-light
At the birth of night

We drive through town
The miner's wives in their faded gowns
Say the sky is coming down
We stop and wait up here at rumbling sounds, rumbling sounds

Oh, we're awaiting
Oh, push the plow
Oh, we're awaiting now

It happens everyday
It's cooling down
I guess that's what they'd say
It happens everyday and holding out today
Running up in rags
Up in rags

By the gravel entrance, shadowed mouth
Some hurried out in powdered doubt
Canary yellow muted dust
The shovels rust with the miner's trust

We drive through town
The miner's wives in their faded gowns
Say the sky is coming down
We stop and wait up here at rumbling sounds, rumbling sounds

Oh, we're awaiting
Oh, push the plow
Oh, we're awaiting now

It happens everyday
It's cooling down
I guess that's what they'd say
It happens everyday and holding out today
Running up in rags

Up in rags
Up in rags
Up in rags
