"Broke" lyrics
"Broke"
I could see the pride in your eyes when you got the news that day
60 hours a week, tires on a jeep, and you'd have off every 12 days
I never thought that mistress in the mountains might take you away from me
But sometimes you gotta dance with the devil to put shoes on baby's feet
So I'll pack your lunch and send you off into the dark
I pray that mine won't steal you from me like you stole my heart
And I will wait for you
Until you're gray and old
And if that mountain calls you home
With you I will go
I'll wait for you
Until those hills run out of coal
And the county company folds
And we all go broke
I spent my honeymoon in the living room and you spent yours down in the mines
But at age 19 that yeah was fine with me, but it gets harder over time
When you're home, go straight to bed cause you're too tired to speak
Darlin I don't mind the lonely or the ashes in the sheets
But I will wait for you
Until you're gray and old
And if that mountain calls you home
With you I will go
I'll wait for you
Until those hills run out of coal
And the county company folds
And we all go broke
And I will wait for you
And when we get old and gray
I'll thank the good lord every day
That we got there
And I will wait for you
Even if that mountain wins
I won't let this be the end
I won't give up hope
Love don't go broke
