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
