Текст песни: Before that sun gets to rise through them lonesome pines
I'm in my truck, headin' for a long day down at the mine
Black coffee and a cigarette keeps me on my feet
It wouldn't take much to knock me down, 'cause Lord knows that I'm beat
I crawl back a couple miles in what might be my grave
Dig another ton for the boss 'cause coal is all he craves
He sits up in his big ol' house countin' hundred-dollar bills
We skin our knees and break our backs and try to stay off the pills
I know I'm gettin' closer with every inch I go
Hell is a real place, that's one thing I know
Can't see your hand in front of you, you don't know where you are
I know God must be real 'cause the Devil's not that far
Twelve hours underground will bring a grown man to his knees
Breakdowns and rock falls, hell is all I see
I could do like my daddy, grow plants back in the hills
But come to think, I'd better not, 'cause that's what got him killed
I know I'm gettin' closer with every inch I go
Hell is a real place, that's one thing I know
Can't see your hand in front of you, you don't know where you are
I know God must be real 'cause the Devil's not that far
I've got a wife, a piece of land, I got three little kids
I'm doin' better for them now than my folks ever did
It puts food on our table, keeps the house warm at night
It's the only thing, it makes it worth crawlin' down that damn coal mine
I know I'm gettin' closer with every inch I go
Hell is a real place, that's one thing I know
Can't see your hand in front of you, you don't know where you are
I know God must be real 'cause the Devil's not that far
I'm in my truck, headin' for a long day down at the mine
Black coffee and a cigarette keeps me on my feet
It wouldn't take much to knock me down, 'cause Lord knows that I'm beat
I crawl back a couple miles in what might be my grave
Dig another ton for the boss 'cause coal is all he craves
He sits up in his big ol' house countin' hundred-dollar bills
We skin our knees and break our backs and try to stay off the pills
I know I'm gettin' closer with every inch I go
Hell is a real place, that's one thing I know
Can't see your hand in front of you, you don't know where you are
I know God must be real 'cause the Devil's not that far
Twelve hours underground will bring a grown man to his knees
Breakdowns and rock falls, hell is all I see
I could do like my daddy, grow plants back in the hills
But come to think, I'd better not, 'cause that's what got him killed
I know I'm gettin' closer with every inch I go
Hell is a real place, that's one thing I know
Can't see your hand in front of you, you don't know where you are
I know God must be real 'cause the Devil's not that far
I've got a wife, a piece of land, I got three little kids

Hell is a real place, that's one thing I know

I know God must be real 'cause the Devil's not that far
