about

Patrick was inspired to write this song for a project called Music for the Mountains after hearing a documentary about a mountain that is so mined that it is ready to cave in. Miners still go down there.

lyrics

My Daddy came home everyday from there
With mud on his face and a coal blank stare
from that mine, down in that mine

He only did it cause his daddy would
make that same old trip through them same old woods
from that mine, down in that mine

He said son don't go down in that mine

I swore to my dad I'd never work down there
but here I stand breathing this foul air
from that mine, down in that mine

This mine it killed my grandpa it's dust killed my dad
I can't believe I'm still down here, It's like I'm already dead
From that mine, down in that mine

I lost my soul, I'm gonna die, down in that mine.
