Devil's Dust
Every morning heading to the mines
Breathing in that devil's dust
You put in all your time, doing what you must
So the bills don't fall behind
You didn't need any help then
And you won't be needing any now
You got a load on your back
Chain around your heart
And a pride that's tearing us apart
Woo, ooh, ooh
Sometimes I wonder
Woo, ooh, ooh
Where are the dreams we dreamt of?
Woo, ooh, ooh
And all the things we wanted
And the time that we lost
To pull it back together
All the nights that I waited for you to come home
And when you'd do we'd cuss and fuss
It ain't that I don't love you, it's 'cause it's too much
And I couldn't tell you enough
But we made it through all these years
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
And baby I know, nothing's really changed
Only now we're a little older
Woo, ooh, ooh
Sometimes I wonder
Woo, ooh, ooh
Where are the dreams we dreamt of?
Woo, ooh, ooh
And all the things we wanted
And the time that we lost
To pull it back together
To pull it back together
Every day you come home, a little more tired
I hear you coughing all through the night
Always another year, until you retire
When the doctor says you're not alright
You didn't need any help then
Surely you'll be needing plenty now
You got a load on your back
Chain around your heart
And a pride that's tearing us apart
Woo, ooh, ooh
Sometimes I wonder
Woo, ooh, ooh
Where are the dreams we dreamt of?
Woo, ooh, ooh
And all the things we wanted
And the time that we lost
To pull it back together
And the time that we lost
To pull it back together
To pull it back together
Breathing in that devil's dust
You put in all your time, doing what you must
So the bills don't fall behind
You didn't need any help then
And you won't be needing any now
You got a load on your back
Chain around your heart
And a pride that's tearing us apart
Woo, ooh, ooh
Sometimes I wonder
Woo, ooh, ooh
Where are the dreams we dreamt of?
Woo, ooh, ooh
And all the things we wanted
And the time that we lost
To pull it back together
All the nights that I waited for you to come home
And when you'd do we'd cuss and fuss
It ain't that I don't love you, it's 'cause it's too much
And I couldn't tell you enough
But we made it through all these years
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
And baby I know, nothing's really changed
Only now we're a little older
Woo, ooh, ooh
Sometimes I wonder
Woo, ooh, ooh
Where are the dreams we dreamt of?
Woo, ooh, ooh
And all the things we wanted
And the time that we lost
To pull it back together
To pull it back together
Every day you come home, a little more tired
I hear you coughing all through the night
Always another year, until you retire
When the doctor says you're not alright
You didn't need any help then
Surely you'll be needing plenty now
You got a load on your back
Chain around your heart
And a pride that's tearing us apart
Woo, ooh, ooh
Sometimes I wonder
Woo, ooh, ooh
Where are the dreams we dreamt of?
Woo, ooh, ooh
And all the things we wanted
And the time that we lost
To pull it back together
And the time that we lost
To pull it back together
To pull it back together
