kathy mattea - the l&n don't stop here anymore lyrics

Loading...

[instrumental]

[verse 1]
when i was a curly headed baby
my daddy sat me down on his knee
he said, “go to school and get your letters
don’t you be a dirty coal miner like me”

[chorus]
i was born and raised at the mouth of hazard holler
coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
but now they stand in a rusty row all empty
’cause the l&n don’t stop here anymore

[verse 2]
well i used to think my daddy was a black man
with scrip 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 was born and raised at the mouth of hazard holler
coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
but now they stand in a rusty row all empty
’cause the l&n don’t stop here anymore

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
i never thought i’d learn to love the coal dust
never thought i’d pray to hear that whistle roar
oh god i wish the gr-ss would turn to money
and those greenbacks fill my pockets up once more

[chorus]
i was born and raised at the mouth of hazard holler
coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
but now they stand in a rusty row all empty
’cause the l&n don’t stop here anymore

[verse 4]
last night i dreamed i went down to the coal yard
to draw my pay like i had done before
them kudzu vines were covering all the windows
there were leaves and gr-ss growing right up through the floor

[chorus]
i was born and raised at the mouth of hazard holler
coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
but now they stand in a rusty row all empty
’cause the l&n don’t stop here anymore
