The L & N Don't Stop Here Anymore

When I was a curly headed baby
 My daddy sat me down upon his knee
 He said, "Boy, you go to school and learn your letters
 Don't you be a dirty miner like me"
 I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
 Coal cars rambled past my door
 Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty
 And the L and N
 Don't stop here anymore
 I used to think my daddy was a black man
 With script enough to buy the company store
 Now he goes downtown with empty pockets
 And his face is white as a February snow
 I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
 Coal cars rambled past my door
 Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty
 And the L and N
 Don't stop here anymore

 Last night I dreamed I went down to the coal yard
 To draw my pay like I always did before
 But them ol' kudzu vines were comin' through the window
 And the leaves and grass were growin' through the floor
 I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
 Coal cars rambled past my door
 Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty
 And the L and N
 Don't stop here anymore
 And the L and N
 Don't stop here anymore
