"Stoic Faces" lyrics
"Stoic Faces"
All these stoic faces
Walking around this town
Well I guess they all got that way
From always looking down
Trying to hide the tears
And the pain from all the work
Lord knows the work round here
Well it usually tends to hurt
You can't hide that darkness
When it's wrapped around your eyes
From spending all your days
Somewhere down there in the mines
Sometimes that darkness
Can crawl into your head
Until the hearing things and seeing shit
Gets you wishing you were dead
But you push past that burden
And build the walls up in your head
'Cause you've got mouths at home
And they're all begging to be fed
They think you're their everything
But they're really yours instead
They'll miss you through the night
But they'll love you 'til the end

Maybe I just think too much
I'm leavin' in the...
Bishop Gunn - "Alabama" She was hotter than the blacktop
Broke down at a truck stop
She looked about as wild as the story she told
Said she was a Christian, savin' souls in Savannah
And the Lord was sendin' her to Alabama...
Colter Wall - "Sleeping On The Blacktop" Sunshine beating on the good times
Moonlight raising from the grave
String band playing worn out honkey-tonks
Pretty young thing going dancing in the rain
