Coal Miner
It's like I'm working in a coal mine, yeah
But I'm grinding for that diamond through the grime so fat
Slaving in the tunnels
To buy my way home
I wonder what it takes just to get me free
Slaving to the bone $40 a week
I'm telling you that I got to get back on the road
Not your forgiveness I want
But what I'm asking for
Is you to please close the door when you go
No time for your problems, Lord
Cause I've got plenty of my own
So won't you please close the door when you go
Won't you please close the door
Oh, won't you please close the door
Oh, won't you please close the door
Won't you please close the door when you go
Nothing worse than working in the heat, yeah
Maybe that and working in the streets, tell ya
To pay your dues, will take your shoes right off your feet
I wonder what it takes just to get me free
Show you what I want when I know what I need
Telling you that I've got to get back on the road
Not your forgiveness I want
But what I'm asking for
Is you to please close the door when you go
No time for your problems, Lord
Cause I got plenty of my own
Won't you please close the door when you go
Won't you please close the door
Oh, won't you, oh won't you, oh won't you, yeah
Oh, won't you please close the door
Won't you please close the door when you go
You got me workin', workin'
Yeah, I'm working in a coal mine
You got me workin', workin'
Oh, yeah, I've been working in a coal mine
You got me workin', workin'
Oh Lord I've been workin' in a, workin' in a
You got me workin', workin'
It's like I'm working in a coal mine, yeah
But I'm grinding for that diamond through the grime so fat
Slaving in the tunnels
To buy my way home
I wonder what it takes just to get me free
Show you what I want when I know what I need
Telling you that I've got to get back on the road
Not your forgiveness I want
But what I'm asking for
Is you to please close the door when you go
No time for your problems, Lord
Cause I got plenty of my own
Won't you please close the door when you go
But I'm grinding for that diamond through the grime so fat
Slaving in the tunnels
To buy my way home
I wonder what it takes just to get me free
Slaving to the bone $40 a week
I'm telling you that I got to get back on the road
Not your forgiveness I want
But what I'm asking for
Is you to please close the door when you go
No time for your problems, Lord
Cause I've got plenty of my own
So won't you please close the door when you go
Won't you please close the door
Oh, won't you please close the door
Oh, won't you please close the door
Won't you please close the door when you go

Won't you please close the door when you go
