Written By, Billy Edd Wheeler

lyrics

Travelling down that coal town road
Listen to my rubber tires whine
Goodbye to buckeye and white sycamore
I’m leaving you behind
Oh I’ve been a coal man all my life
Laying down track in the hole
Got a back like an ironwood
Bent by the wind
Blood veins blue as the coal

Somebody said that’s a strange tattoo
You have on the side of your head
I said that’s the mark of the number 9 coal
A little more and I’d be dead
Oh but I love the rumble
And I love the dark
I love the cool of the slate
It’s just going down that new road
Looking for a job
This travelling and looking I hate

Someday when I die and go
To heaven land of my dreams
I won’t have to worry on
Losing my job
To bad times and big machines
Well I got no job and I got no pay
Just got a worried soul
And this blue tattoo
On the side of my head
Left by the number 9 coal
