kathy mattea - the l&n don't stop here anymore lyrics
when i was a curly headed baby
my daddy sat me down on his knee
he said, “son, go to school and get your letters,
don’t you be a dusty coal miner, boy, like me.”
[chorus:]
i was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow
the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
but now they stand in a rusty row all empty
because the l & n don’t stop here anymore
i used to think my daddy was a black man
with script enough to buy the company store
but now he goes to town with empty pockets
and his face is white as a february snow
[chorus]
i never thought i’d learn to love the coal dust
i never thought i’d pray to hear that whistle roar
oh, god, i wish the gr-ss would turn to money
and those green backs would fill my pockets once more
[chorus]
last night i dreamed i went down to the office
to get my pay like a had done before
but them ol’ kudzu vines were coverin’ the door
and there were leaves and gr-ss growin’ right up through the floor
[chorus]
