Lyrics:
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
boy like me"
I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler
Where the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
But now they stand in
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
there once was a mighty scream
And I've watched the flat cars
Take away our timber
I've watched the coal cars steal our rock
And now that we've got
miner like me
I was born and raised at the mouth of a Hazard holler
With the coal cars rolling and rumbling by my door
But now they're standing in
Grandad spent his life workin’ in the mines
Filling up those coal cars, send ‘em down the line
Wonder what he’d think about how the world has changed
Like me
I was born and raised at
The mouth of hazard hollow
The coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
But now they stand in a rusty row, all empty
it rains
Ride the train, ride the train
Southern Pacific
The Overland Express
And up ahead the coal cars of West
Virginia's best
And Oklahoma's
VERSE: The only home I've ever known
Was the Cumberland Plateau
No silver spoon
You're born to go hungry
With the rails of the coal cars
an empty coal car on that train not coming back
-Chorus-
But I hate to see that evening sun go down
When it's lonesome coming down on my trail
And I know
your freight train rocks the coal cars
The way a river carves its bed
The way a hand fits inside a pocket
That is how you live in my head
If I had
Must be a cold front coming
Cause I saw the eastbound C&O
And the coal cars were dusted with a half inch of snow
And that boy'll drive me crazy
crossed the mighty river near his home.
He played along the banks of the river
Time was measured by the passing trains
He counted coal cars clankin', thru
to be me
Wait no I disagree
Just sign the treaty
Why won't the train wreck already
(Breath in) here I am at the coal car
(Breathe out) just shoveling I
Lover, what have you become
Coal cars and oil drums
Warehouse walls and factory floors
I don't know you anymore
And in the meantime up above
rails? Listen to them sing
They carry men's livelihoods and all their hopes dreams
When you see those cars of coal, don't forget the men below
Who work,
still hear the coal trucks echo
Car drives staring out the window
All the memories I'll never let go
I miss when things were brand new
I can hear
When I get home I'll be lying next to you
When I get home I'll be lying next to you
Every day the coal car rumbles
Every step just another stumble
How dark, the darkness had found me
But how lightly your light surrounds me
Your eyes flicker like the sun
I am a cold, shivering coal car
You
wails a darkness fear
A soulful light rolls in from afar
with her black scarf borne from a coal laden car
Last call for the Midnight Train
Last call for
those cattle, coal and box cars
A tanker, a flatbed with search light white and red
The little red caboose at the end
Lights up and glows in the night
Got
I have a pretty lofty goal
I been mining in the black like I'm in love with coal
Got my car paid off, cleaned my credit up a little
Took some chances
these bare trees
Covering ears with dusty hands when trains rolled through
Cars of coal, they drudge and groan,
Moan their tales of other towns they've
old
Jump suits with burns and holes
Black lungs from all the coal
They stole the car and were never seen again
Now there ain't nothin for the three wise
