Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I clock in with the dawn
Coal dust on my jeans
Mama left a note on the sink
Said, "Come home clean"
The cage drops down
Like a bad church bell
We bite that dark
And know it well
[Pre-Chorus]
My hands don't shine
They're split and blue
The man on top
Don't breathe this view
[Chorus]
Coal mining blues, blues, blues
(black rock, black rock)
Coal mining blues, blues, blues
(one more shift, one more)
I pay in sweat
You pay in smoke
Coal mining blues
And a back that broke
[Verse 2]
My brother lost two fingers
To a buckle and a cart
He still laughs loud
But he laughs hard
The lunch pail rusts
By the broken fence
Every payday feels
Like a dented chance
[Pre-Chorus]
My lungs are tight
My prayer is thin
If I don't come up
Tell my girl I sinned
[Chorus]
Coal mining blues, blues, blues
(black rock, black rock)
Coal mining blues, blues, blues
(one more shift, one more)
I pay in sweat
You pay in smoke
Coal mining blues
And a back that broke
[Bridge]
When the siren calls
It cuts right through
We rise up slow
Like old debt do
Some men chase gold
Some men chase rain
Me, I chase daylight
Out of this vein
[Chorus]
Coal mining blues, blues, blues
(black rock, black rock)
Coal mining blues, blues, blues
(one more shift, one more)
I pay in sweat
You pay in smoke
Coal mining blues
And a back that broke
[Outro]
Coal mining blues
Till the shaft runs dry
Coal mining blues
Look me in the eye
