Текст песни: Coal Keeps the Lights On + перевод

He pulls in that ole' Chevy from a second shift

Mama’s still sleepin', kids still crashed down on the couch

He goes in the backdoor, he don’t wanna wake them up

So he wipes the coal dust off his face and hits his knees

He says, Lord, I wanna thank you for everything

And the strength you give me, to make it day by day

Coal Keeps the Lights On

My hometown keeps food on the spoon in my youngin’s mouth

Tires on the truck and a sundress on my baby girl

Coal keeps the bills paid, the clothes on the backs

And shoes on the feet in the high school halls of the Mountain Lions

And the Bill County Bobcats on the hill

They went plumb down crazy in Washington

They’re talking about closin' the mines

They’re gonna bleed us all dry from the inside out

They don’t care that much about the little man or the calloused hands

It’s a way of life 'round, just like it’s always been

Coal Keeps the Lights On

My hometown keeps food on the spoon in my youngin’s mouth

Tires on the truck and a sundress on my baby girl

Coal keeps the bills paid, the clothes on the backs

And shoes on the feet in the high school halls of the Mountain Lions

And the Bill County Bobcats on the hill
