There ain't enough corn mash In this whole sorry town To wash off or burn out The way it all went down But that cork squeaks so loud When it's sneaking its way out That I'm afraid to death she's going to hear Now the fire on my tongue Is for those who die young And the weariness of we who stay behind There's poison sickness in my heart And I don't trust the ashes of my mind I've got too many sorrows And far too little time To sit and drown out these memories Under Tennessee rye But the salt on the rim Has me thinking about him And my shaking hands can't hold back no more tears Now the fire on my tongue Is for those who die young And the weariness of we who stay behind There's poison sickness in my heart And I don't trust the ashes of my mind Whispering my shame To the bottom of my glass Won't get me through the dawn Or make the darkness pass So I'll hold out tonight And clench this bottle tight And drink about the light I saw in you Now the fire on my tongue Is for those who die young And the weariness of we who stay behind There's poison sickness in my heart It's tearing me apart And I don't trust the ashes of my mind

Well, I heard an old man say, "Youth's lost on the young" If I had I known what I know today I would have lived my life like a smoking gun But I saved it up for a rainy day And I'm still waiting for that day to come You only know that you had it when it's gone But it's something I can't say Though it's there on the tip of my tongue It's something I can't change For you can't stop a sailing sun And I wanna scream it at the top of my lungs But it's something I can't say Though it's on the tip of my tongue It's on the tip of my tongue Well, I heard a young man say, "The truth's lost on the old" All I have is how I feel today No matter what I'm told and what I'm told So I saved it up for a rainy day Even though that day may never come And I won't know that I had it 'til it's gone, oh But it's something I can't say Though it's there on the tip of my tongue It's something I can't change For you can't stop a rising sun And I wanna scream it at the top of my lungs It's something I can't say Though it's on the tip of my tongue Oh, woah, on the tip of my tongue Hey, on the tip of my tongue, woah Oh, on the tip of my tongue

Call up the captain tell him I ain't comin' in He can dig his own coal something else is happening This living that I'm making is doing a sin It's broken the lives of too many good men Been hauling coal since I was big enough to fight Some 30 odd shifts with out a glimpse of daylight The corporation likes to say that everythings alright Dig yourself a hole get outta sight There's a dark cloud above me that's blocking out the sun Burn another hundred coal listen to the engines run One half is starving while the others having fun So call the captain, call the captain, call the captain, call the captain Melinda close the door I ain't going down to the mines today I want clear blue skies and whole lot more I ain't going down to the mine There's a hole in this bucket I've been carrying around I fill it up to the top and watch it spill on the ground I go down to the mines and when I come back up I got nothin' to show but the sweat on my brow These hills are my own flesh and bones There all that I love and there all that I know Please don't ask me to destroy my home I'm not gonna choose between my heart and soul, so Call the Captain tell him I ain't coming in He can dig his own coal something else is happening This living that making is doing a sin So call the captain, call the captain,...call the captain Hear the whistle blow this morning Hear the whistle blow today Hear the whistle blow this morning I ain't going down to the mine I ain't going down to the mine

She walks past the soldiers out in the street Stays to the side with her eyes on her feet She hardly makes a whisper, just barely a word And this was all the baby heard Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Keep your head down Lying on the bank where the cool water flows A baby's crying for a mother that he'll never know She says the pharaoh wants you to die So I'm leaving you here if you're gonna survive Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Keep your head down You're gonna be there when he parts the tide And leads all the people to the other side Climb that mountain by the lord's goodwill But right now boy you better be still Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Keep your head down Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Keep your head down Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Be still Moses, don't make a sound Keep your head down Keep your head down Keep your head down
