Devil’s Dust

Every morning heading to the mines
Breathing in the devils dust
Be putting all you time, doing what you must
So the bills don't fall behind
You didn't need any help then
And you won't be needing any now

You got a load on your back
Chains around your heart
And a pride that's tearing us apart

Sometimes i wonder
Where are the dreams we dreamt of
And all the things we wanted
All the time that we lost
To pull it back together

All the nights that i waited for you to come home
And when you'd do we cuss and fuss
It ain't that i don't love you, it's cause it's too much
And i couldn't tell you enough
But we made it through all these years
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
And baby i know, nothings really changed
Only now we're a little older

Sometimes i wonder
Where are the dreams we dreamt of
And all the things we wanted
All the time that we lost
To pull it back together

Every day you come home, a little more tired
I hear you coughing all through the night
Always another year, until you retire
And the doctor says you're not alright
You didn't need any help then
Surely you'll be needing plenty now

You got a load on your back
Chains around your heart
And a pride that's tearing us apart

Sometimes i wonder
Where are the dreams we dreamt of
And all the things we wanted
All the time that we lost
To pull it back together
