They closed the mine down late last year
Now There's little work for a man and oh I fear
It's home but there's nothing left for us here
Your Mamas trying lord I'm doing my best
To feed you but I feel it in my chest
Its high time we try our fate out west
Pre 1
And I know leaving home
Puttin tears in your eyes
But believe me son its the only way we'll survive
So don't you cry
CH 1
Boy there's still sun in your eyes
We're halfway to the borderline
I know you're sick of these long cold nights
But we'll keep this fire alive
So dream sweet under the desert sky
About the life we're bound to find
And I swear till the day I die
I'll keep the sun in your sun in your eyes
V2
This blizzard has taken its toll
Catching game out here's like panning for gold
And I feel this winter in my bones
But there's a man who made me a deal
There's good money roughneckin on an oil field
Oh Christmas won't come late this year
Pre 2
And I know this bitter cold is
Puttin tears in your eyes
But believe my son I'm gonna show you better life
So don't you cry
