It wasn't too long ago
I meet a man after a show
He said, "I like the way that you sound
I can take you on out of this town
It's nothing but one big old mine
And coal is headed down south."
Well I looked him dead in the eyes
And said, "You'd better your mouth."
You might live up in that high rise hotel
but my Daddy was raised underground
You look down on us
'Cause we're covered in dust
But we like getting dirty
And we'll always be proud
Our blood runs as deep as the mines
And our ties can't be undone
But you'll never know what it's like,
To be a coal miner's son
To be a coal miner's son
Now buddy, don't get me wrong
I'd love a job singing my songs
But we've got a saying 'round here
Don't judge a man by how he appears
You make it look good with your arm on a suit
And your customise Escala
But I'd rather work with there blue-collar boys
Than work for you any day
Now you might live up in that high rise hotel
but my Daddy was raised underground
You look down on us
'Cause we're covered in dust
But we like getting dirty
And we'll always be proud
Our blood runs as deep as the mines
And our ties can't be undone
But you'll never know what it's like,
To be a coal miner's son
To be a coal miner's son
Now I see the mines shuttin' down
And men losing jobs all around
Lawmakers say they ain't worth the cost
But we're saying that it's their loss
So before you go thinking 'bout counting' the south
Remember this one simple fact
It's the work that we do
That keeps your lives on
So why don't you cut us some slack
You might live up in that high rise hotel
but my people were raised underground
You look down on us
'Cause we're covered in dust
But we like getting dirty
And we'll always be proud
Our blood runs as deep as the mines
And our ties can't be undone
But you'll never know what it's like,
To be a coal miner's son
To be a coal miner's son
To be a coal miner's son
