Lyrics
0:15When I was 16 took me a 15 year old wife
0:19I guess I've been a working man just about all my life
0:28Like my daddy before me I've done the best I could
0:35Somehow things turned out a little worse than they should
0:48Logan West Virginia is a hundred mile behind
0:54Coal mines took my boys life and my Janies piece of mind
1:01All I know is back in Logan I ain't never been that smart
1:08But I know I had to leave there to heal my Janies heart
1:17D**n these hard times
1:20D**n the coal mines
1:24D**n the good dreams gone cold
1:31While I'm at it d**n this crooked road
1:45Me and Janie worked hard to get our children grown
1:51Junior was our first born and he gut us to the bone
1:59We learned long ago that you don't doubt the good lords plans
2:05But some things is hard to take lord we just tryin' to understand
2:14D**n these hard times
2:17D**n the coal mines
2:21D**n the good dreams gone cold
2:28While I'm at it d**n this crooked road
3:10There's a big blue ocean about 300 mile
3:17Sun on the water just might make my Janie smile
3:24Light in her eyes is worth more to me than gold
3:32Hope runs straight line right down this mountain road
3:40D**n these hard times
3:43D**n these coal mines
3:47D**n the good dreams gone cold
3:54While I'm at it d**n this crooked road
4:05While I'm at it d**n this crooked road
When I was 16 took me a 15 year old wife I guess I've been a working man just about all my life Like my daddy before me I've done the best I could Somehow things turned out a little worse than they should Logan West Virginia is a hundred mile behind Coal mines took my boys life and my Janies piece of mind All I know is back in Logan I ain't never been that smart But I know I had to leave there to heal my Janies heart D**n these hard times D**n the coal mines D**n the good dreams gone cold While I'm at it d**n this crooked road Me and Janie worked hard to get our children grown Junior was our first born and he gut us to the bone We learned long ago that you don't doubt the good lords plans But some things is hard to take lord we just tryin' to understand D**n these hard times D**n the coal mines D**n the good dreams gone cold While I'm at it d**n this crooked road There's a big blue ocean about 300 mile Sun on the water just might make my Janie smile Light in her eyes is worth more to me than gold Hope runs straight line right down this mountain road D**n these hard times D**n these coal mines D**n the good dreams gone cold While I'm at it d**n this crooked road While I'm at it d**n this crooked road
