I live in the coal beat towns
Where there's nobody else around
And there's no echos to my songs
But nothing ever brings me down
Time just starts and stops round here
Maybe it's been years and years
But I won't soak the rugs with tears
Cause nothing ever brings me down
But oh, who am I kidding
When every day I find myself wishing
That it didn't work me up
But better up than down
Better up than down
I'll admit I was a fool
Skipping on the public pool
I spend my life inside a rule
And that don't ever bring me down
(I think)
But oh, who am I kidding
When every day I find myself wishing
That it didn't work me up
But better up than down
Better up than down
I live in the coal beat towns
Maybe it's been years and years
I spend my life inside a rule
But that don't ever bring me down
But oh, who am I kidding
When every day I find myself wishing
That it didn't work me up
But better up than down
Better up than down
Better up than down
Better up than down
Nothing ever brings me down
Nothing ever brings me down
