Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down in the belly of the earth, where the sunlight won’t go,
The air’s so thick, you feel it in your bones.
Pickaxe swings, and the echoes moan,
It’s a life carved in stone, but you’re always alone.

[Prechorus]
Every breath tastes like rust and regret,
A debt to the mine you ain’t paid off yet.

[Chorus]
In the dust for a paycheck, it takes its toll,
It’s a trade of your body, and a piece of your soul.
You’re working to live, but you’re hardly alive,
The mine ain’t for the weak, only the strong survive.

[Verse 2]
Your kids growing up, but you’re missing the years,
You tell yourself your giving them the best life while holding back tears.
Your back’s hurt, your hands are worn,
You come home so tired, but you’ll be back at it in the morn’.

[Prechorus]
Every mile you dig feels like a mile you lose,
It’s a game with no winners, just miners and dues.

[Chorus]
In the dust for a paycheck, it takes its toll,
It’s a trade of your body, and a piece of your soul.
You’re working to live, but you’re hardly alive,
The mine ain’t for the weak, only the strong survive.
