about

A tale of when the mines shut down and hard times set in.

lyrics

Verse 1
The year was 1980, when the mines laid me off
the economy was in shambles and I couldn't find a job
It was late September, the air was turning cold
I became a trucker and headed out on the road

Verse 2
It was after the New Year, I started drinking hard
spent less of my time at home and more time at the bar
I started spending my money on easy women just for fun
to help make ends meet, I started running guns
How can Hell be any worse?

Verse 3
That's when my wife she told me, she's tired of being alone
our one and only son was living in a broken home
She cried as she told me, my drinking was to blame
she found another man and my boy will never know my name
How can Hell be any worse?

Verse 4
I don't know what happened, how that gun got in my hand
I just wanted to scare her, I think that was the plan
something snapped inside of me, I started seeing red
six bullets rang out later and my wife was laying dead
How can Hell be any worse?

Verse 5
That's when my boy he looked at me, his face was covered in blood
like buzzards the cops circled, telling me to drop my gun
they took me on down to Stillwater, threw me in a cell
Now I'm rotting here in my man made Hell
How can Hell be any worse?
