lirik lagu brenn hill – the onyx mine
miners came from tennessee back in 1891
the west was still young and free like the early mornin’ sun
diggin’ into the mountainside lookin’ for a streak of gold
in the marrow of the onyx mine lies the story that they told
now a hundred years gone by you still can see their sign
way out on the boulder road that leads down to the old mine
i came for the first time when i was just sixteen
now twenty years have p-ssed and i’m still just a refugee
’cause i feel somethin’ when i ride that rocky trail
i hear voices in the tall dark pines
and i don’t feel nothin’ when i drive these city streets
so i think i’ll leave this city behind
and head for the onyx mine
father told the story about drivin’ that old road
in a 1941 ford the day after it snowed
a downed-log through the fender and a busted-out headlamp
by the early mornin’ light they made it to the old mine camp
when my world turns dark and cold and the gold in life don’t shine
i gather up my family and we head up to the old mine
we sit around a campfire and look up at the full white moon
and listen to the coyote howl an old ghost miner’s tune
’cause i feel somethin’ when i ride that rocky trail
i hear voices in the tall dark pines
and i don’t feel nothin’ when i drive these city streets
so i think i’ll leave this city behind
and head for the onyx mine
for the onyx mine
