annie patterson - the l&n don't stop here anymore lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when i was a curly headed baby
my daddy sat me down upon his knee
he said, ”son, you go to school and learn your letters
don’t be no dusty miner, like me,”

[chorus]
for i was born and raised at the mouth of the hazard hollow
coal cars rollin’ and rumblin’ past my door
now they stand in a rusty row, all empty
and the l&n don’t stop here anymore

[verse 2]
well, i used to think my daddy was a black man
with scrip enough to buy the company store
but now he goes to town with empty pockets
and his face is white as a february snow

[chorus]
for i was born and raised at the mouth of the hazard hollow
coal cars rollin’ and rumblin’ past my door
now they stand in a rusty row, all empty
and the l&n don’t stop here anymore

[verse 3]
well, last night, i dreamed i went down to the office
to get my pay like i’d done before
them kudzu vines that covered up the doorway
and the trees and grass growing through the floor
[chorus]
for i was born and raised at the mouth of the hazard hollow
coal cars rollin’ and rumblin’ past my door
now they stand in a rusty row, all empty
and the l&n don’t stop here anymore

[verse 4]
i never thought i’d learn to love the coal dust
i never thought i’d pray to hear that [?] roar
but, lord, i wish that grass would change to money
and them greenbacks fill my pockets once more

[chorus]
for i was born and raised at the mouth of the hazard hollow
coal cars rollin’ and rumblin’ past my door
now they stand in a rusty row, all empty
and the l&n don’t stop here anymore

[instrumental]
