kathy mattea – coal tattoo lyrics
travelin’ on down that coal town road
listen to my rubber tires whine
goodbye to buckeye and white sycamore
i’m leavin’ you behind
oh, i’ve been a coal miner all my life
layin’ down track in a hole
got a back like ironwood, bent by the wind
blood veins as blue as the coal
blood veins as blue as the coal
well, somebody said, ?that’s a strange tattoo
you have on the side of your head?
i said, ?that’s a blue mark left by the coal
little more and i’d a been dead?
oh, i love the rumble and i love the dark
lord, i love the cool of the slate
but it’s going down that new road lookin’ for a job
travelin’ and lookin? i hate
travelin’ and lookin? i hate
some day when i’m dead and gone
to heaven the land of my dreams
i won’t have to worry ?bout losin’ my job
to bad times and big machines
oh, i got no house lord, i got no job
just got a worried soul
and a blue tattoo on the side of my head
left by the number nine coal
left by the number nine coal
