Hidden Under Your Coal Belt Lyrics

A song about growing up as a queer person in rural Pennsylvania

Well I got moth men chewing holes in my denim

A thin blue nicotine patch on a redneck demon

Copenhagen grizzly that is spit with venom

Seeing stars around your head like twilight's last gleaming

Its 52 hertz in the radio exclusion

Knowing harsh words are a foregone conclusion

Hard conversations when the cricks unclear

I'm just the same as you bud I'm just tryna get a beer

Cavalier so insincere, this buck hunter aint after deer

Southern Comfort in first gear, shotgun in a Nissan frontier

Turn around hear him jeer, sneer to me that I'm a fag...

A little severe and all my will just disappears

But now its a holy cum-union, a eucharistic liplock

Confessing holy vices in the Pentecostal parking lot

Country fair sides shows, walleyes have come down to spawn

Pulling out rolling the coal that's keeping all the lights on

Camo jacket on not gonna drop my guard

Till I feel the heat from the trash fire in your yard

Smouldering under the miners highway

Burning your palms on ash Wednesday

Stow away rolling in hay, try to downplay all hear say

Sneak away misplace horseplay, get a sheetz receipt back when I pray

Harvest moon todays the day, got the nerve to say I'm

Uuhhhhhhh well anyways

If I'm a lamb I'm gonna stray

If I'm a lamb I'm gonna stray

Wait quietly for judgment day

But now I'm raising the frames, and I'm flipping the bonnets

Driving a truck with a opossum on it

Coyote call out all alone

Through your boutique tin can telephone

Ho butt! Time to roll

Choke down that pepperoni roll

We'll pound some brews with some good men at night

And I'll deal with more ass than a Menonite

Highway billboards heralding hell

Light loafer demons, sit for a spell

Tell me to repent while I still can

Well I'm not gonna fry I'm cast iron PAN

Always the same any Podunk town with a stolen name

In fields and streams by trees that sway

You know its always been this way
