lyrics

I remember the news talking 'bout NATO ships in the Strait of Hormuz
Really who gives a crap about endangered bats when there's ten dollar gas?

Here comes Peabody into the valley like when Carbon County had coal
Forget Fukushima and Chernobyl, boys we're going back in the hole

I've seen you shining onto the diner register like a bride
Can I take you out? Cold wine coolers in the bed of my ride
Hold my hand until the shaking subsides

It's been three generations since we left the holler, we're not going back
The shifts keep us in Ford F-150s and TVs and out of the shacks

The Peabody man tells us limited exposure is safe
Just a tang in the back of my throat when the tunnel shakes
For the kids I'll do whatever it takes

Our love will grow
Our love will grow

If I curse it's just uranium dust in my brain
If I raise my hand it's just the tailings building up in my veins
Fingers losing grip on the reins

My bones will glow
My bones will glow

Heard a night crew got poisoned by something who knows what the company found
We were back on the job in two weeks hunting energy under the ground
Under the ground
Under the ground
Under the ground
