Darrell Scott - Keep Your Dirty Lights On lyrics

My dad, he came from coal dust Me I’m bout the same If you’ve read King Cole’s ledger book You’ve seen my family name It used to take a camp of miners To load that train and gone Now there’s four in my crew and we do what we do To keep your dirty lights on Keep your dirty lights on Keep your dirty lights on If you got money in your pocket and a switch on the wall We’ll keep you dirty lights on Well Dad, he worked in darkness Me in broad daylight I’d blow a whole seam like like daddy never dreamed Using Nobel’s dynamite As long as there’s coal in them mountains We’re gonna burn it til it’s gone No we can’t stop blowing mountain tops We gotta keep your dirty lights on Keep your dirty lights on Keep your dirty lights on If you got money in your pocket and a switch on the wall We’ll keep you dirty lights on Everytime they have elections ey talk how coal is clean Well coal is cheep but coal’s still black It ain’t never turning green So plug your electric car in Charge it and be gone Do your shopping online, we’ll get you every time So we can keep your dirty lights on Keep your dirty lights on Keep your dirty lights on If you got money in your pocket and a switch on the wall We’ll keep you dirty lights on Keep your dirty lights on Keep your dirty lights on If you got money in your pocket and a switch on the wall We’re gonna keep your dirty lights on Keep them on
