WELL THE NIGHT IS THICK AS SILENCE
YOU CAN'T CUT IT WITH A KNIFE
A MAN LIES IN THE HOSPITAL
DRAININ' OUT HIS LIFE
THE TRUCKS ARE ON THE BACK ROAD
IN THE DARK THEIR HEADLIGHTS SHINE
'CAUSE THERE'S ONE MAN DEAD
ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE
OH ANGER, LIKE POISON
IS EATIN' AT YOUR SOUL
YOUR THOUGHTS ARE LOUD AS GUNFIRE
YOUR FACE IS HARD AS COAL
BITTERNESS LIKE BUCKSHOT
EXPLODES INSIDE YOUR MIND
AND THERE'S ONE MAN DEAD
ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE
OH A MINER'S LIFE IS FRAGILE
IT CAN SHATTER JUST LIKE ICE
BUT THOSE WHO BEAR THE STRUGGLE
HAVE ALWAYS PAID THE PRICE
THERE'S BLOOD UPON THE CONTRACT
LIKE VINEGAR IN WINE
AND THERE'S ONE MAN DEAD
ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE
YOU CAN'T CUT IT WITH A KNIFE
A MAN LIES IN THE HOSPITAL
DRAININ' OUT HIS LIFE
THE TRUCKS ARE ON THE BACK ROAD
IN THE DARK THEIR HEADLIGHTS SHINE
'CAUSE THERE'S ONE MAN DEAD
ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE
OH ANGER, LIKE POISON
IS EATIN' AT YOUR SOUL
YOUR THOUGHTS ARE LOUD AS GUNFIRE
YOUR FACE IS HARD AS COAL
BITTERNESS LIKE BUCKSHOT
EXPLODES INSIDE YOUR MIND
AND THERE'S ONE MAN DEAD
ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE
OH A MINER'S LIFE IS FRAGILE
IT CAN SHATTER JUST LIKE ICE
BUT THOSE WHO BEAR THE STRUGGLE
HAVE ALWAYS PAID THE PRICE
THERE'S BLOOD UPON THE CONTRACT
LIKE VINEGAR IN WINE
AND THERE'S ONE MAN DEAD
ON THAT HARLAN COUNTY LINE
