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
