They Still Go Down

(アルバム： Another Side Of This Life: The Lost Recordings Of Gram Parsons - 2000)

My daddy was a miner
Granddaddy was too
My uncle died in a rock slide
Before the rescue team got through

And they still go down
And they still go down
Into the earth
And then inside all covered with dirt
And they still go down

Down in old wide Utah
Back to Coal Creek, Tennessee
Many a man lying dead now
But you got to have those medals, you see

And they still go down
And they still go down
Into the earth
And then inside all covered with dirt
And they still go down

Maybe they'll find a new way to mine
You won't have to go in the ground
But there're thousands with spots on their lungs now
Who still watch their lives trickle down

And they still go down
And they still go down
Into the earth
And then inside all covered with dirt
And they still go down

And they still go down
And they still go down
