Bone Creek Blues

Bone Creek is dry this time of year. Then again, it's always down. Common knowledge round this town Been struggling to hear my phone when it rings. All the bad news that it seems to bring I'm so tired of being underpaid. Can't get by with what I make. And I know that I'm not alone I'm so tired of being away. Can't get close and I'm afraid to end up alone Damn near blinded by this welding light. Lately my back's been awful tight. Something just don't feel right My youngin's growing up before our eyes. Seen her last Friday night. Lit up by the TV light I'm so tired of being underpaid. Can't get by with what I make. And I know that I'm not alone I'm so tired of being away. Can't get close and I'm afraid to end up alone Old graffiti on a railroad car. I love coal in a big pink heart. Well I guess you'd call that art This train sure don't seem to slow down none. Racing hard against the sun. Fighting but he's already won Old graffiti on a railroad car. Well I love coal And I'm so tired. I sold my soul And I'm so tired of being so afraid. Can't get by with what I made. And I know that I'm not alone I'm so tired of being away. Can't get close and I'm afraid to end up alone Can't get by with what I made. Can't get close and I'm afraid to end up alone
