Kelsey Waldon - Quicksand lyrics

I moved to God's country from a faraway 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 'til dawn on a miner's pay

Now if I never love another
I've made money my bride
And this hole's gettin' darker
I can feel it inside
Then the engine started gleaming
And I gave her a sigh
Darling, 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 have said
But the steel train keeps moving
And this mountain is dead
Yeah this machine keeps moving
But this mountain is dead
