|
Behind the tar paper shack back in the holler, |
|
Old man shockin' corn and coilin' copper, |
|
He's about the only business in town, |
|
That ain't been boughted up 'fore the bank shut down. |
|
At first glance, you might think times are hard |
|
There ain't no coal comin' out of that shaft |
|
There's rust all over the railroad tracks |
|
You can't see nothing but a big old black |
|
Cloud up in the sky |
|
And if the good Lord don't see fit |
|
To send a little sun down on these pines |
|
That's fine |
|
Old Leonard gonna make us shine |
|
Way back and before these mines were tapped |
|
He had a bigger dot there on the map |
|
Who knows, it might get better again |
|
And who cares that train ain't rollin' in |
|
Look beyond, they're comin' 'round the mountain |
|
There ain't no coal comin' out of that shaft |
|
There's rust all over the railroad tracks |
|
You can't see nothing but a big old black |
|
Cloud up in the sky |
|
And if the good Lord don't see fit |
|
To send a little sun down on these pines |
|
That's fine |
|
Old Leonard gonna make us shine |
|
He's gonna make us shine |
|
There ain't no coal comin' out of that shaft |
|
There's rust all over the railroad tracks |
|
You can't see nothing but a big old black |
|
Cloud up in the sky |
|
And if the good Lord don't see fit |
|
To send a little sun down on these pines |
|
That's fine |
|
That'll be just fine |
|
Old Leonard gonna make us shine |
|
Old Leonard gonna make us shine |
|
Old Leonard's gonna make us shine |
|
Gonna make us shine |
