He was a broken down man singing the blues
In the hills of Kentucky
His daddy was making homemade booze
His mana ain't doing so well
She said daddy's going straight to hell
He watched his old man work a hole in his shoes
Gambled away their money, started selling the shine again
And he got himself a gun
Now he's wanted by the magistrate
He's wanted by the man
Shot the sheriff of Sterns
Got blood on his hands
And now he's on the run
So many bones he would break
Just to try to stay alive for another day
Every step he would take
Getting closer to hell just like his mamma said
Somebody killed him with the gun
Left behind in the coal mines
Yeah the boy was traumatized
And now mamma drinks herself to sleep every night
And it broke him down
He couldn't get out
Tried to ease his mind
Got some pills to make it all go quiet
Make the pain go away
He said tie me off, make the pain go away
I wish I could stay here forever
In this place I can float away
The only way to ease my mind
And run away from my past
I'm well aware that I'm well on my way, and life ain't easy for me these days
So I fade away day after day
Just to ease my mind for a little bit of time
Wont you let me be
Looked like a broken down man with nothing to lose
Not a penny to my name
Let me explain my self to you
Not doing so well so he tells me
Life's been beating me down it ain't easy
So I got myself a gun
Now I'm wanted by the magistrate
I'm wanted by the man
Couldn't take it no more
I got blood on my hands
Now I'm on the run
So many veins he would break
Just to try to to get high for another day
Every step he would take
Getting closer to hell just like his mamma said
He killed a man with the gun
Left behind in the coal mines
Yeah the boy was traumatized
Now mamma drinks herself to sleep every night
Nothing left to lose
Not the path you should choose
Started making booze just like your daddy use to do
Your past is catching up to you
And now your running away from the magistrate
Now you're locked up in chains
And you'll never get to see the sun
Follow the footsteps of your old man
Generations of despair, life was unfair
Trauma and abuse took its toll on you
Daddy left his burden for you
Called it the coal miner moon shiner blues
Got nothing else to lose
hanging from a noose
