O.A.R. - Coalminer lyrics

Album: In Between Now & Then (2003)

Daddy was a coalminer.
He worked the pits all day.
In Rock Springs, Wyoming.
It was meant to be a stop for a day, became his home nothing
more I can say.

Daddy was a part time farmer.
He worked the field for pay
But he would rather have new shoes for them horses.
But late one day, them horses run away.
Shouldn´t have put the shoes on that way.

Too bad for daddy.
Such a shame he took it all.
So me & mom took the high road.
But it isn´t like we had a choice at all.

Daddy was a guitar player.
He would play that joint all night.
Out back in the shack the six-string was his demon.
Maybe one day I could run away, join my dad in a band to play.

Now it is just me & mom here.
We sit alone all night.
But if you listen close you can hear my daddy playing.
It was meant to be a stop for a day, left us here, now he has on his way.

Too bad for daddy.
Such a shame he took it all.
So me & mom, we took the high road.
But it isn´t like we had a choice at all.

Just to bad for daddy.
It is such a shame he took it all.
So me & mom took the high road.
But it isn´t like we had a choice at all.
