The L&N Don't Stop Here Anymore

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>When I was a curly headed baby<br/>My daddy sat me down on his knee<br/>He said, son, go to school and get your letters<br/>Don&#x27;t you be a dusty coal miner, boy, like me<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow<br/>The coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door<br/>But now they stand in a rusty row, all empty<br/>Because the L &amp; N don&#x27;t stop here anymore<br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>I used to think my daddy was a black man<br/>With script enough to buy the company store<br/>But now he goes to town with empty pockets<br/>And his face is white as a February snow<br/>[Chorus]<br/><br/>[Verse 3]<br/>I never thought I&#x27;d learn to love the coal dust<br/>I never thought I&#x27;d pray to hear that whistle roar<br/>Oh, god, I wish the grass would turn to money<br/>And those green backs would fill my pockets once more<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/><br/>[Verse 4]<br/>Last night I dreamed I went down to the office<br/>To get my pay like a had done before<br/>But the old kudzu vines were covering the door<br/>And there were leaves and grass growing right up through the floor<br/><br/>[Chorus]
