Travelin' on down that coal town road
Listen to my rubber tires whine
Goodbye to buckeye and white sycamore
I'm leavin' you behind

Oh, i've been a coal miner all my life
Layin' down track in a hole
Got a back like ironwood, bent by the wind
Blood veins as blue as the coal
Blood veins as blue as the coal

Well, somebody said, that's a strange tattoo
You have on the side of your head
I said, that's a blue mark left by the coal
Little more and i'd a been dead

Oh, i love the rumble and i love the dark
Lord, i love the cool of the slate
But it's going down that new road lookin' for a job
Travelin' and lookin i hate
Travelin' and lookin i hate

Some day when i'm dead and gone
To heaven the land of my dreams
I won't have to worry bout losin' my job
To bad times and big machines

Oh, i got no house lord, i got no job
Just got a worried soul
And a blue tattoo on the side of my head
Left by the number nine coal
Left by the number nine coal
