Kelsey Waldon - Quicksand Lyrics

I moved to God's Country from a far away land
From a City of immigrants to a town like quicksand
Then a man spoke out rightly and recruited me to stay
Now it's dusk till dawn on a miner's pay

Now If I never loved another I've made money my bride
And this hole's getting darker, I can feel it inside
The engine started gleaming and I gave it a sigh
Darlin' I'm leaving this coal mine, for the fear of my life

One night I dreamed of an explosion, and it went through my head
And it shook my whole body like a bullet full of lead
Forgive me sweet mama for the things that I've said
But this steel train keeps moving, and this mountain is dead
Yes this machine keeps moving, but this mountain is dead
