balsam range - i spend my days below the ground lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
mine is a tale of many a man
from pikeville on west of waco
i make my living with my back and my hands
searching the caverns for coal
what’s left of a man too soon past his prime
most days i feel like a slave
doing my time on the company dime
down in a rock solid grave

[chorus]
it’s a dreary and dark, deep down in the mine
but it’s a life to which i am bound
where dreams of a young man just wither with time
since i never got out of this town
i spend my days below the ground

[verse 2]
when i was a boy about fifteen years old
the mine wasn’t part of my plan
i had big dreams on down the road
to be a doctor ora business man
but then daddy, he died with a chest full of coal
and a new sense of duty arrived
then i took his place down in that black hole
and made sure the family survived

[chorus]
it’s a dreary and dark, deep down in the mine
but it’s a life to which i am bound
where dreams of a young man just wither with time
since i never got out of this town
i spend my days below the ground

[verse 3]
as i walk out the door, i look down the hall
toward the room of my only son
and of the family pictures that hang on the wall
i pray someday he’ll be the one
who can break down the chain of three generations
and leave all the misery behind
find a new town and a good occupation
and leave me with some peace of mind

[chorus]
it’s a dreary and dark, deep down in the mine
but it’s a life to which i am bound
where dreams of a young man just wither with time
since i never got out of this town
i spend my days below the ground
