The Mine

(专辑： Ghosts Of West Virginia - 2020)

Well, I woke up with an aching way on down in my bones
Wasn't nothing else I could do
Took your wedding ring to West Virginia, Jewelry & Loan
Pawned it for a cure for the blues

But hey, babe, I saved you some
It's okay, babe 'cause it won't be long

There'll come a sunny morning, phone is gonna ring
It'll be my brother down at the mine
He's gon' tell me, "Come a-runnin'" 'cause he had to pull some strings
Promise not to blow it this time

And hey, babe, it's gonna be alright
Someday, babe, if you hold on tight
Gonna get myself together
When my brother gets me on at the mine

Well, my brother drives a brand new Ram truck with a hemi
And satellite radio, too
Well, I reckon that's the first thing that I'm a-gonna get me
And a baby blue Camaro for you

And hey, babe, we'll ride in style
That day babe, down that Main Street mile
It's gonna get better
When my brother gets me on at the mine

If I was gonna travel anywhere but West Virginia
Then I reckon I'd have done it by now
As you live here all your life you kinda get the mountains in ya
Ain't no way you're getting 'em out

But hey, babe, I know it's hard
These days, babe, and you're sick and tired
But it can only get better and you know it's just a matter of time
Till I get myself together and my brother gets me on at the mine
