Lyrics

Upside Down hard to get through
Inside out is what you do
No time for goodbyes to a son
Can’t eat enough to keep the weight on
A miner’s day is a nighttime done

Skin full of beer just to feel right
Home by three not to jolt the wife
She’s married to a lot of pain
Too many clouds filled up with rain
A miner’s life close to the flame

Sleep on the bus it’s best to try
The day before you’re hung and dried
You hide the smoke til you come back
Don’t overthink or lose your track
A miner’s truth is a dangerous fact

Always a chance not to return
It’s a given you’ll feel the burn
Closer and closer to your kin
They know exactly what shape you’re in
A miner’s trust is hard to win
A minor’s day never ends
A minor’s life is the shape you’re in
It’s the shape you’re in
The shape you’re in
The shape you’re in
