he packs his bucket on Monday morning
another long week down at the mines
and he ain t ready to go back to work
but he s on accompanies time
he don t do it for the greed or pleasure
and he ain t chasing no pot of gold
he s in a whole in west Virginia
because he s got to little baby s at home
chorus
(stop)
It s amazing what we ll do
just to provide a home for our children
and try to give them a better life
He ain t never been perfect but he s perfect in there eyes
he s covered in coal in west Virginia
With his baby s on his mind
playing
Come s home tired every day
Covered in sweat,tattoos,and scars
But somehow he finds the energy to rope and play out in the yard
(stop)
dodge ball,leap frog,and tag your it
loves the smiles and laughs and those giggle fits
come tonight he ll tuck them into bed
get up in the morning and start it all over again
Repeat chorus
Like his daddy and his daddy before him
He s doing all he has ever known
came back from the service
got a hat and a light and went straight under ground
each shift he works he ain t but six inches from hell
He seen a lot of good men give it all
and he draws his pay on Friday morning
he might stumble but he ain t gonna fall
It s amazing what we ll do
just to provide a home for our children
and try to give them a better life
He ain t never been perfect but he s perfect in there eyes
he s covered in coal in west Virginia
With his baby s on his mind
he s covered in coal in west Virginia
and the sun is on the rise
