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
