michelle shocked - the l&n don't stop here anymore (remastered) lyrics

when i was a curly+headed baby
my daddy set me down on his knee
saying ”son you go to school, you learn your letters
don’t you be no dusty miner, boy like me”
i was born and raised at the mouth of the hazard holler
where the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
but now they stand in a rusty row of all empties
because the l & n don’t stop here anymore

i used to think my father 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 as white as the february snow
i was born and raised at the mouth of the hazard holler
where the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
but now they stand in a rusty road of all empties
because the l & n don’t stop here anymore

never thought i’d live to lean to love the coaldust
never thought i’d pray to hear those temples roar
but god i wish the grass would turn to money
and then them greenbacks would fill my pockets once more
i was born and raised at the mouth of the hazard holler
where the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
but now they stand in a rusty road of all empties
because the l & n don’t stop here anymore
last night i dreamed i went down to the office
to get my payday like i done before
but them old kudzu vines was covering the doorway
and there was leaves and grass growing up through the floor
i was born and raised at the mouth of the hazard holler
where the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
but now they stand in a rusty road of all empties
because the l & n don’t stop here anymore
