"Coal" lyrics

Well I remember what you told me
Said drinking was unholy
So Lord, can you point me to the creek
And I still keep it with me
Tucked under all the memories
Your voice echoing throughout those trees

And through unfavored weather
And holes in the leather
These boots still covered in tar
Well I'm still praying to the heavens
And hoping for them 7s
But hope only gets a man so far
When

This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
And they say pressure makes diamonds
How the hell am I still coal?

I've seen heaven without dying
Met the devil without trying
And they both seem to want to talk to me
But I'm all out of luck now
And my dreams aren't worth a buck
How it's tough tryna land on my feet
When

This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
And they say pressure makes diamonds
How the hell am I still coal?

And every day is getting colder
Since that day in October
When you told me it was over, so I left
'Cause if you need me, well I told ya
I'm on the better side of sober
Tryna find a four leaf clover to get me out of this mess

This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
And they say pressure makes diamonds
How the hell...

This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
And they say pressure makes diamonds
How the hell am I still coal?
