Above Ground

(앨범: Feel Good Country - 2023)

I've been deep down working in a coal mine
While my friends are all soaking up the sunshine
They all say I need to let loose and unwind
Let my hair down and have myself a good time

Spend too much time down in this hole
Looking for diamonds and black gold
Took their advice and I looked around
Funny what you find when you're above ground

She was standing in the back of a beer line
Flashed a smile my way as I walked by
It was just my luck, I was covered in dust
She had a thing for a man from the deep mine, I said

Honey what's your name? Where's your crown?
Looking like a queen of a mine town
I'm getting lost in what I just found
Funny what you find when you're above ground

I was just a canary in a cage
With no song to sing till I saw your face
I wasn't digging for coal, I was digging my grave
One shovel at a time, now I'm begging to stay
Above ground

Now I work my shift and I rush home
To the girl of my dreams that's been waiting on
The truest true love that she's ever known
She's the reason that I keep on keeping on

Spend too much time down in this hole
Looking for diamonds and black gold
Found what I wanted when I looked around
Funny what you find when you're above ground
Above ground
Above ground
