T和L&N don't stop here anymore

When I was a curly headed baby
Daddy sat me down on his knee
He said, 'Son, go to school and get your lessons
Dont you be a dusty coal miner, boy, like me'

I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow
The coal cars rollin and rumblin past my door
Now they stand in a rusty row of empties
Cause the L and N dont stop here anymore

Used to think my daddy was a black man
With script enough to buy the company store
Now he goes to town with empty pockets
And his face is white as a February snow

I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow
The coal cars rollin and rumblin past my door
Now they stand in a rusty row of empties
Cause the L and N dont stop here anymore

Never thought Id learn to love the coal dust
Never thought Id yearn to hear that whistle roar
Oh, how I wish the grass would turn to money
And those greenbacks would fill my pockets once more

I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow
The coal cars rollin and rumblin past my door
Now they stand in a rusty row of empties
Cause the L and N dont stop here anymore

Last night I dreamed I went down to the office
To get my pay like a had done before
But them ol kudzu vines were coverin the doorway
There was grass and leaves growin right up through the floor

I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow
The coal cars rollin and rumblin past my door
Now they stand in aRusty row of empties<比如>cause the land N don't stop here anymore<比如>
