chris miller (composer) & nathan tyson - the burnt part boys lyrics

[chet]
see the way i see it
jake you got off easy
somehow got the radio
to break the kid the news
little man must understand
an offer that we can’t refuse
you got the hard part behind you
and it ain’t even sunrise
and guess who’s found a place
where the fattest fishies swarm?
let’s hit the lake before the sun
and pray our fishin poles perform

[chet & jake]
company wants to move our shovels?
promote these bones to another mine?
new recruits in the boots of our fathers?
i say take the raise, and fall in line
we’re climbing that mountain
we’re going to the burnt part

[pete, spoken]
dusty rivers, we are going to the burnt part today

[dusty, spoken]
petey, i didn’t get to have my full breakfast this morning, but i coulda sworn i just heard the words “burnt part”, “go to” and “we.”
[pete, spoken]
dusty, do you remember when we swore with our blood to be everlasting eternal soul twins in 1955?

[dusty, spoken]
some folks say the burnt part is still smoking! my gram says not even a soul’s beer up there! everyone says that place puts the poo+ in spooky. oh, and am very

[pete, spoken]
dusty, it’s a cause worth fighting for

[dusty, spoken]
no! we’ll get found out, pete!

[pete, spoken]
you go tell your parents you’re at my place, jake’s going fishing, and my mom won’t make it out of bed ’til dinner time anyway

[dusty, spoken]
but i’m a marshmallow. c’mon, i’ll go see the alamo with you tonight

[pete]
(spoken)
this is a real+life alamo
(sung)
company wants to break a promise
run a red carpet down a shuttered mine
drop my brother where i lost my father
they want coal, from what should stay a shrine
[dusty & pete]
we’re climbing that mountain
we’re climbing to the burnt part
were climbing up
climbing to the burnt part

[chet]
see the way i see it
everything’s coming together
soon you’ll be the youngest foreman in town
and me i’ll be your right hand man

[chet & jake]
we’re movin’ up by diggin’ down!

[chet, spoken]
that busted lock i gona get you fined a prety penay. beter pick up a new one
‘fore monday

[jake, spoken]
i didn’t bust anything

[chet, spoken]
woo, it’s wrecked, let’s go pick up a new one so you don’t muss your sterling reputation. oh. sh+t. where’s the dynamite?

[jake, spoken]
pete
[dusty, spoken]
but pete, what are we going to do if we get up there?

[pete, spoken]
i don’t know. i just have to go

[dusty, spoken]
are we going to go up the company road?

[pete, spoken]
no. nothing mining company related. we’re going the back way

[chet, spoken]
how the h+ll we gonna find them?

[jake, spoken]
the company road

[chet, spoken]
but no one’s been on that road in ten years

[jake, spoken]
no way pete would take any way but that

[chet, spoken]
but i heard once the clinch river bridge was bombed out —

[jake, spoken]
we go fast as possible, we’ll catch up to him and his shadow by mid+morning, right up that road

[chet, spoken]
same road our fathers took every morning
