Testo Lawrence Jones - Kathy Mattea
Testo della canzone Lawrence Jones (Kathy Mattea), tratta dall'album Coal (Bonus Track Version)
Well the night is thick as silence
You can't cut it with a knife
A man lies in the hospital
Draining out his life
The trucks are on the back road
In the dark the headlights shine
'Cause there's one man dead
On that Harlan County line
Oh anger like poison
Is eating at your soul
Your thoughts are loud as gunfire
Your face is hard as coal
Bitterness like buckshot
Explodes inside your mind
And there's one man dead
On that Harlan County line
Oh a miner's life is fragile
It can shatter just like ice
But those who bear the struggle
Have always paid the price
There's blood upon the contract
Like vinegar in wine
And there's one man dead
On that Harlan County line
From the river bridge at Hydes Flint
To the Brookside railroad track
You can feel a long strength building
That can never be turned back
The dead go forward with us
Not one is left behind
'Cause there's one man dead
On that Harlan County line
Well the night is cold as iron
You can feel it in your bones
It settles like a shroud
Upon the grave of Lawrence Jones
Graveyard shift is walking
From the bathhouse into the mine
And there's one man dead
On that Harlan County line
One man dead
On that Harlan County line
One miner dead
On that Harlan County line
