The Mine

[Verse 1]

Well I woke up with an achin' way on down in my bones

Wasn't nothin' else I could do

Took your wedding ring to West Virginia Jewelry & Loan

Pawned it for a cure for the blues

But hey babe, I saved you some

It's okay babe, 'cause it won't be long

[Verse 2]

There'll come a Sunday morning, the phone is gonna ring

Be my brother down at the mine

He's gonna tell me come a'runnin' 'cause he had to pull some strings

Promise not to blow it this time

And hey babe, it's gonna be alright

Someday babe, if you hold on tight

Gonna get myself together when my brother gets me on at the mine

[Verse 3]

Well my brother drives a brand new Ram truck with a hemi

And satellite radio too

Well I reckon that's the first thing I'm a' gonna get me

And a baby blue Camaro for you

And hey babe, we'll ride in style

That day babe, down the Main Street mile

It's gonna get better when brother gets me on at the mine

[Instrumental Verse]

[Verse 4]

And if I was gonna travel anywhere but West Virginia

Then I reckon I'd a' done it by now

As you live here all your life, you can get the mountains in you

Ain't no way you're gettin' them out

But hey babe, I know it's hard

These days babe, and you're sick and tired

But it can only get better and know it's just a matter of time

Till I get myself together when my brother gets me on at the mine
