david rovics - east tennessee lyrics
i grew up on this mountain
came back here to dwell
maybe have a family
plant some corn and dig a well
i was all done with the army
back from vietnam
where i learned how to shoot a rifle
and how to set a bomb
i grew up on this mountain
it’s in my very soul
so when the company moved next door
started digging for the coal
tearing up the mountain
with drillers and draglines
i knew then what needed
to happen to those mines
10, 9, 8 sometimes that’s just how it goes
3, 2, 1 get out before it blows
the guard, he was sleeping
on duty thru the night
i stepped gently on the ground
and stayed well out of sight
i tied sticks to the equipment
switched the timer on
then i knew that in ten seconds
these dozers would be gone
10, 9, 8 sometimes that’s just how it goes
3, 2, 1 get out before it blows
i had to leave the mountain
i headed to the west
the cops were on my trail
and i figured it was best
and i figured i did my small part
to make the world free
in my humble manner
in east tennessee
10, 9, 8 sometimes that’s just how it goes
3, 2, 1 get out before it blows
