lyrics

So I’ll sell you no more coal mining blues
This distance feels good, but I’ve never known a pick axe
But I’ve fallen on my ego and I’ve been stuck in Monroe tho
So I guess you could say I’ve been put down in a shaft before

Or maybe I just walked down into that hole, but I know it was the summer I hit 19
And since then this act has been a heavy ghost to deal with
Well it ain’t like she’s a ghost, nah it’s more like she’s a myth
And sometimes it’s just easier to have lost her than me

And now I ain’t been back there to see her for a single summer since
And I gotta wonder when I’m gonna simmer for such sins
And I know it don’t make very good company to sit here tryin ta get so clever,
But I ain’t gonna sing songs about thistle and cocaine no more

So no, my canary she didn’t die, she’s still down here in the shaft with me
It’s just that sometimes she don’t sing so well
Yeah, sometimes I don’t sing so well.
So I’m sorry, and I promise to call you when I’m sober.
