When I was 16 took me a 15 year old wife |
|
I guess I've been a working man just about all my life |
|
Like my daddy before me I've done the best I could |
|
Somehow things turned out a little worse than they should |
|
Logan West Virginia is a hundred mile behind |
|
Coal mines took my boys life and my Janies piece of mind |
|
All I know is back in Logan I ain't never been that smart |
|
But I know I had to leave there to heal my Janies heart |
|
Damn these hard times |
|
Damn the coal mines |
|
Damn the good dreams gone cold |
|
While I'm at it, damn this crooked road |
|
Me and Janie worked hard to get our children grown |
|
Junior was our first born and he gut us to the bone |
|
We learned long ago that you don't doubt the good lords plans |
|
But some things is hard to take lord we just tryin' to understand |
|
Damn these hard times |
|
Damn the coal mines |
|
Damn the good dreams gone cold |
|
While I'm at it, damn this crooked road |
|
There's a big blue ocean about 300 mile |
|
Sun on the water just might make my Janie smile |
|
Light in her eyes is worth more to me than gold |
|
Hope runs straight line right down this mountain road |
|
Damn these hard times |
|
Damn these coal mines |
|
Damn the good dreams gone cold |
|
While I'm at it, damn this crooked road |
|
While I'm at it, damn this crooked road |
