he packs his bucket on Monday moCadd9rning
another long week down at the miGnes
and he ain't ready to go back to woDrk
but he's on acGcompanies Cadd9time
 he don't do it for the greed or Gpleasure
and he ain't chasing no pot of Cadd9gold
he's in a whole in west VDirginia
because he's got to little baby's at hGomeCadd9  
        chorus
(stop)           G  
It's amazing what we'll do
just to pEmrovide a home for our chDildren
and try to gCadd9ive them a better life
He ain't never been pGerfect but he's perfect in there eEmyes
he's covered in coal in west VirDginia
With his baby's on his mGind
     playing
Come's home tired every Cadd9day
Covered in sGweat,tattoos,and sCadd9cars
But somehow he finds the eDnergy to rope and play out in the Cadd9yard
(stop)                   Cadd9  
dodge ball,leap frog,and tag your it
loves the smiles and laughs and those Ggiggle fits
come tonight he'll tuck them Dinto bed
get up in the morning and start it all Gover again
        Repeat chorus
Like his daddy and his daddy before him
He's doing all he has ever known
came back from the service
got a hat and a light and went straight under ground
each shift he works he ain't but six inches from hell
He seen a lot of good men give it all
and he draws his pay on Friday morning
he might stumble but he ain't gonna fall
 It's amazing what we'll do
just to provide a home for our children
and try to give them a better life
He ain't never been perfect but he's perfect in there eyes
he's covered in coal in west Virginia
With his baby's on his mind
he's covered in coal in west DVirginia
and the sun is on the Grise
