[00:11.838]When I was a curly headed baby
[00:18.096]Daddy sat me down on his knee
[00:24.341]He said, "Son, go to school and get your lessons
[00:30.315]Don't you be a dusty coal miner, boy, like me"
[00:35.769]
[00:37.273]I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow
[00:43.019]The coal cars rollin' and rumblin' past my door
[00:49.983]Now they stand in a rusty row of empties
[00:55.981]'Cause the L and N don't stop here anymore
[01:03.232]
[01:15.391]Used to think my daddy was a black man
[01:21.138]With script enough to buy the company store
[01:27.644]Now he goes to town with empty pockets
[01:33.394]And his face is white as a February snow
[01:37.637]
[01:39.639]I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow
[01:45.894]The coal cars rollin' and rumblin' past my door
[01:52.888]Now they stand in a rusty row of empties
[01:58.635]'Cause the L and N don't stop here anymore
[02:06.138]
[02:17.145]Never thought I'd learn to love the coal dust
[02:23.640]Never thought I'd yearn to hear that whistle roar
[02:29.634]Oh, how I wish the grass would turn to money
[02:35.893]And those greenbacks would fill my pockets once more
[02:40.883]
[02:42.636]I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow
[02:48.645]The coal cars rollin' and rumblin' past my door
[02:54.891]Now they stand in a rusty row of empties
[03:01.385]'Cause the L and N don't stop here anymore
[03:08.635]
[03:19.884]Last night I dreamed I went down to the office
[03:26.639]To get my pay like a had done before
[03:32.884]But them ol' kudzu vines were coverin' the doorway
[03:38.892]There was grass and leaves growin' right up through the floor
[03:44.390]
[03:45.385]I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow
[03:51.394]The coal cars rollin' and rumblin' past my door
[03:58.138]Now they stand in a rusty row of empties
