charles wesley godwin - miner imperfections lyrics

[verse 1]
wasn’t one to talk much when we pulled off to school
i could never tell what’s running through his mind
it’d be three more hours until those halls are full
but long walls don’t run on nine to five
i didn’t get it then, every day that man would fight
to punch the clock and make it home alive

[chorus]
he’s got miner imperfections, blame it on his roots
calluses on his hands, coal dust on his boots
he’s not one for conversation when there’s work to do
papaw said get paid in cash, companies, scripts and news
them city folks would shame him if he let them
but he’s proud of his miner imperfections

[verse 2]
years went by and i grew up, his brown hair faded white
he somehow picks up every time i call
he moved me in and bailed me out and shared all he knows about
like how to pair a diamond to a girl
his hard edges cut me deep when i was just a boy
i saw his face light up when those grandchildren were born

[chorus]
he’s got miner imperfections, blame it on his roots
calluses on his hands, coal dust on his boots
he’s not one for conversation when there’s work to do
he told me do what you love, misery is a noose
them city folks would shame him if he let them
but i’m proud of his miner imperfections
[bridge]
i don’t mine no coal but my collar’s still staying blue
my kids looked up at me the way i looked at him
for those little ones, there’s nothing i won’t do
i hope one day they can understand

[chorus]
i’ve got miner imperfections, i’m proud of my roots
calluses on my hands, singing to a room
i’m not one for conversation when i’ve got work to do
i tell my kids do what you love, your papaw told me to
them city folks try to shame me now and then, don’t mind them
i’m proud of my miner imperfections
i’m proud of my miner imperfections
