Lyrics

Mining Town

Said you came from a mining town

But they closed the mining down

Said your daddy was a drinker

He had a picture of jesus on his sinker

Maybe i... maybe I'm coming for you tonight

This town's only five miles wide

Look everywhere there's a road sign

On tops and places to hide

And cops sit around hungry

Waitin to dine

Maybe i... maybe I'm coming for you tonight

Maybe i... maybe I'm coming for you tonight

Said you came from a mining town

They closed the mining down

Said your momma was a drinker

She had a picture of jesus on her sink and

Maybe i... maybe I'm coming for you tonight

Maybe i... maybe I'm coming for you tonight

Maybe i........ baby, I'm coming for you tonight
