He'd rise 'fore the sun, boots on his feet
Hands worn and tough, in the summer heat
Swingin' that hammer, drilling down deep
To keep us fed, and watch us sleep
Each dinner time, he'd grace that chair
With stories and smiles, he'd always be there
Through toil and sweat, and the fire's blaze
He gave us strength in those hardest days
But one black night, the rigs went still
A silent echo on the dusky hill
Lifeline cut, the stars did cry
In a flash, he'd kissed this world goodbye
Mama's tears, they stained the floor
As we clung to hope, wanting more
His old hard hat hangs on the wall
A reminder he gave us all
Little Johnny asks"Where's Dad gone?"
It breaks my heart, he don't belong
In that cold, dark ground, beneath the pine
But his love still lingers, oh, it's mine
But one black night, the rigs went still
A silent echo on the dusky hill
Lifeline cut, the stars did cry
In a flash, he'd kissed this world goodbye

He'd rise 'fore the sun, boots on his feet
Hands worn and tough, in the summer heat
Swingin' that hammer, drilling down deep
To keep us fed, and watch us sleep
Each dinner time, he'd grace that chair
With stories and smiles, he'd always be there
Through toil and sweat, and the fire's blaze
He gave us strength in those hardest days
But one black night, the rigs went still
A silent echo on the dusky hill
Lifeline cut, the stars did cry
In a flash, he'd kissed this world goodbye
Mama's tears, they stained the floor
As we clung to hope, wanting more
His old hard hat hangs on the wall
A reminder he gave us all
Little Johnny asks"Where's Dad gone?"
It breaks my heart, he don't belong
In that cold, dark ground, beneath the pine
But his love still lingers, oh, it's mine
But one black night, the rigs went still
A silent echo on the dusky hill
Lifeline cut, the stars did cry
In a flash, he'd kissed this world goodbye
Hands worn and tough, in the summer heat
Swingin' that hammer, drilling down deep
To keep us fed, and watch us sleep
Each dinner time, he'd grace that chair
With stories and smiles, he'd always be there
Through toil and sweat, and the fire's blaze
He gave us strength in those hardest days
But one black night, the rigs went still
A silent echo on the dusky hill
Lifeline cut, the stars did cry
In a flash, he'd kissed this world goodbye
Mama's tears, they stained the floor
As we clung to hope, wanting more
His old hard hat hangs on the wall
A reminder he gave us all
Little Johnny asks"Where's Dad gone?"
It breaks my heart, he don't belong
In that cold, dark ground, beneath the pine
But his love still lingers, oh, it's mine
But one black night, the rigs went still
A silent echo on the dusky hill
Lifeline cut, the stars did cry
In a flash, he'd kissed this world goodbye
