Coal

I wake up every morning, 4:30 a.m.

A cup of coffee and a cigarette, I hit the road again

I got a rusty old pickup, yeah she still runs like new

Gets me from A to B, as long as I treat her good

I go into the center of this cold dark earth

Just to give my family what they deserve

Coal, ten hours a day

For a little bit of pay under ground

Coal, turns a boy into a man

Put a shovel in his hand and turn him loose
