Shaky Ground Lyrics


In memory of a miner
Who dragged himself to work
And worked himself to death, working for someone else
We follow each other around on shaky groundHis life had become to him
Worthless in many ways
An expired product off the shelf, working for someone else
We follow each other around on shaky groundThe nature of his work
Gave him a minstrel color
Twenty hours a day, little time he had for others
We follow each other around on shaky groundNever got to see the world
He got a funeral and this miner's song
There is no right or wrongNow it's down to the wire
Facing six feet under
Can only wonder and stare
His name was a number

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Uncle Tupelo was an alternative country music group from Belleville, Illinois, active between 1987 and 1994. Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy, and Mike Heidorn formed the band after the lead singer of their previous band, The Primitives, left to attend college. The trio recorded three albums for Rockville Records, before signing with Sire Records and expanding to a five-piece. Shortly after the release of the band's major label debut album Anodyne, Farrar announced his decision to leave the band due to a soured relationship with his co-songwriter Tweedy.
