Loading...

[instrumental introduction]

[chorus]
thirteen miles from the tennessee line was the end of a miner’s dream
had to get away from the deep, dark mines crawling on his hands and knees
crawling on his hands and knees

[verse 1]
johnny was a miner in harlan town
digging in the ground for coal
working his fingers down to the bone and livin’ on the coal he sold
livin’ on the coal he sold

[verse 2]
when it grew cold and the work got hard and john started making plans
had to get away from the deep, dark mines crawling on his knees and hands
crawling on his knees and hands

[verse 3]
johnny had hopes most all of his life someday to be a millionaire
the devil told johnny he has to pass the bank
there’s a lot of money there
thеre’s a million dollars there

[verse 4]
johnny got thе money and he headed south
as fast as he could go
before he got to cumberland gap the sirens began to blow
sirens began to blow
[verse 5]
thirteen miles from the tennessee line, he was doing 95
the road was sl!ck and john started slidin’ over the mountainside
over the mountainside

[chorus]
thirteen miles from the tennessee line was the end of a miner’s dream
had to get away from the deep, dark mines crawling on his hands and knees
crawling on his hands and knees

[outro]
had to get away from the deep, dark mines crawling on his hands and knees
crawling on his hands and knees
thirteen miles from the tennessee line
crawling on his hands and knees
crawling on his hands and knees
