lirik lagu brad paisley - you'll never leave harlan alive
[verse 1]
in the deep dark hills of eastern kentucky
that’s the place where i trace my bloodline
and it’s there i read on a hillside gravestone
you will never leave harlan alive
oh, my granddad’s dad walked down
katahrins mountain
and he asked tillie helton to be his bride
said, won’t you walk with me out of the mouth
of this holler
or we’ll never leave harlan alive
[chorus]
where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
and the sun goes down about three in the day
and you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinking
and you spend your life just thinking of how to get away
[verse 2]
no one ever knew there was coal in them mountains
till a man from the northeast arrived
waving hundred dollar bills he said i’ll pay ya for your minerals
but he never left harlan alive
granny sold out cheap and they moved out west
of pineville
to a farm where big richland river winds
i bet they danced them a jig, laughed and sang a new song
who said we’d never leave harlan alive
but the times got hard and tobacco wasn’t selling
and ole granddad knew what he’d do to survive
he went and dug for harlan coal
and sent the money back to granny
but he never left harlan alive
[chorus]
where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
and the sun goes down about three in the day
and you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinking
and you spend your life just thinkin’ of how to get away
where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
and the sun goes down about three in the day
and you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you’re drinking
and you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave
[verse 3]
in the deep dark hills of eastern kentucky
that’s the place where i trace my bloodline
and it’s there i read on a hillside gravestone
you will never leave harlan alive
