Down In The Mine
Dierks Bentley

Here in the Harlen County

The choices are few

To keep food on the table

And babies in shoes


You can grow marijuana

Way back in the pines

Or work for the mayor

Down in the mine


You never forget

Your first day in the hole

There's a pit in your stomach

And your mouth's full of coal


There's no turnin' back

Once you make up your mind

As the cart rattles on

Down in the mine


Way down in the mine

Your tears turn to mud

And you can't catch your breath

For the dust in your lungs


Loading hill-billy goat

Where the sun never shines

Twelve hours a day

And diggin' your grave

Way down in the mine


Well, the old-towners talk

But you just don't believe

It can all go to hell

At two thousand feet


Life sways in the bounds

Of nature and time

And fate has no mercy

Down in the mine


The news spread like fire

And burned through those hills

Hopes were held high

But five men got killed


On the wings of canaries

They'll so surely fly

While their bones spend eternity

Down in the mines


Way down in the mine

Your tears turn to mud

And you can't catch your breath

For the dust in your lungs


Loading hill-billy goat

Where the sun never shines

Twelve hours a day

And diggin' your grave

Way down in the mine


So take a flask from your crib can

And a pool of moonshine

And say a prayer for them boys

Down in the mine
