Kentucky Gold Whiskey Myers

[Verse 1]
Wakin' up early, goin' back down
Black coffee, black lung underground
This much money ain't even worth countin'
Hand-to-mouth, this side of the mountain

[Verse 2]
The creek used to run clear across the tracks
'Til Peabody came and it all turned black
The diamonds we diggin' don't sparkle or shine
Wastin' away in a rich man's mine

[Chorus]
West Virginia, Kentucky gold
Feed your family, sell your soul (Sell your soul)
Dying young, never growing old
For that West Virginia, Kentucky gold

[Verse 3]
Wake up every mornin', kiss my kids goodbye
Whisper to my beautiful wife
"If today's the day that I should go
Don't leave me down in that damn hole"

[Chorus]
West Virginia, Kentucky gold
Feed your family, sell your soul (Sell your soul)
Dying young, never growing old
For that West Virginia, Kentucky gold
