lyrics

Gold mine nothing but coal
Dust it off and rub it on the side of your coat
All mine nothing’s back home
Shrug it off and thumb it on the side of the road

Gold mine nothing was told
Long before you left you had your eyes on the road
Dog died tied to a rope
Pray to God that truck’ll start the engine was cold

Left the dog tied up outside
found the rope wrapped tight ‘round his neck
A friend ‘til the end and then Nineball kicks down your door
From behind a shotgun he says
“Love lost is like spittin’ gravel up
Grab the gun attaboy make ‘em run down
to the gold mine and throw em’ away”

Oh that’s what he say

Wrist wrapped in plaster cast
You rattletrap bastard pull out the choke
Ain’t she sound good and then Nineball blasts out your back window
Glass shatters he shouts
You run from the gun
“Gonna find when tomorrow comes living ain’t much different from—”
but he coughs as the diesel gets sucked down them lungs

Oh that’s what he does
