Chris Knight - Crooked Road lyrics

When I was 16 took me a 15 year old wife I guess Ive been a working man just about all my life Like my daddy before me Ive done the best I could Somehow things turned out a little worse than they should Logan West Virginia is a hundred mile behind Coal mines took my boys life and my Janies piece of mind All I know is back in Logan I aint never been that smart But I know I had to leave there to heal my Janies heart Damn these hard times Damn the coal mines Damn the good dreams gone cold While im at it, damn this crooked road Me and Janie worked hard to get our children grown Junior was our first born and he gut us to the bone We learned long ago that you dont doubt the good lords plans But some things is hard to take lord we just tryin to understand Chorus Theres a big blue ocean about 300 mile Sun on the water just might make my Janie smile Light in her eyes is worth more to me to me than gold Hope runs straight line right down this mountain road Damn these hard times Damn these coal mines Damn the good dreams gone cold While im at it, damn this crooked road While im at it, damn this crooked road
