[Verse 1]
Sunrise lighting up a ridgetop
Slicing through the frost like a red-hot knife
Sometimes I'm dreaming I'm a running across
But I couldn't now to save my life
Hound dog, yipping in the holler
Musta jumped a bear, bubba listen to him run
Somebody oughta catch him by the collar
But I ain't going nowhere 'cause I'm down with black lung
[Chorus]
Black lung never gets better
Every breath a little bit harder to draw
Shotgun loaded in the corner
Reckon I'm a' lie here and die of black lung
[Verse 2]
Some days are better than the other ones
Sit out on the porch when it's cool at night
Can't say there ain't then but I'm some suffering
Every breath I take like a twelve round fight
Grandbabies out beneath the willow tree
Hollering and laughing, and it sound like fun
Can't pick 'em up, hug their necks anyway
Sorry honey Granddaddy's down with black lung
Sunrise lighting up a ridgetop
Slicing through the frost like a red-hot knife
Sometimes I'm dreaming I'm a running across
But I couldn't now to save my life
Hound dog, yipping in the holler
Musta jumped a bear, bubba listen to him run
Somebody oughta catch him by the collar
But I ain't going nowhere 'cause I'm down with black lung
[Chorus]
Black lung never gets better
Every breath a little bit harder to draw
Shotgun loaded in the corner
Reckon I'm a' lie here and die of black lung
[Verse 2]
Some days are better than the other ones
Sit out on the porch when it's cool at night
Can't say there ain't then but I'm some suffering
Every breath I take like a twelve round fight
Grandbabies out beneath the willow tree
Hollering and laughing, and it sound like fun
Can't pick 'em up, hug their necks anyway
Sorry honey Granddaddy's down with black lung
