They say for the fun I had last night
I'll burn in hell with the anthracite
I said if that little lady treats me right
We'll burn with the anthracite
Tonight I'll go knocking on her back door
Make love to her on the bedroom floor
Pretty satin sheets why mess them for
We'll burn with the anthracite
Chorus:
We'll burn with the anthracite
We'll burn with the anthracite
I said if that little lady treats me right
We'll burn with the anthracite
Preacher came calling 'round back one day
Found me and my lady sliding in the hay
Handed in the collar on the very same day
He'll burn with the anthracite
(chorus)
This town has a way of getting in your head
Happened to my daddy and now he's dead
I'll use me hands other ways instead
And burn with the anthracite
(chorus)
