PA Coalminer

Daddy was a PA coalminer from 55 to 98

Out in the driveway warming up the Pontiac while hittin minus eight

He'd walk from the backdoor headin to work seems like only yesterday

The birds sing louder and the smell of the flowers

And the moon lights up the night

Laughter is sweeter and your life couldn't have been finer

At the end of the day is when you realize
