00:00Smoky stack stands stark against the sky My restless spirit, it just couldn't lie

00:19Left her there beneath a heavy pall Heard the mountains whisper, heard them call

00:26Guilt like a shadow, deep within my soul Paid a heavy penance, lost all control

00:33She worked the earth, a strength I couldn't keep While I chased fool's gold, buried way too deep

00:39Oh, she got fire in her heart And coal dust on her hands

00:46A true coal field rose in these weary wasted lands

00:52The river runs silent but her memory sings Love I abandoned on broken wings

01:01She's the bedrock, the reason, the soul of this town

01:05My Rust Belt woman never let me down

01:08News came rattling like a distant train Of hardship's hammer falling in the rain

01:21The mine went quiet, prosperity fled Leaving only echoes of words unsaid

01:28Sorrow like a burden, heavy and profound For the life I squandered on hallowed ground

01:34I picture her there, brave and standing tall Catching fallen fragments, trying to catch them all

01:41Oh, she got fire in her heart And coal dust on her hands

01:48A true coal field rose in these weary wasted lands

01:54The river runs silent but her memory sings Love I abandoned on broken wings

02:02She's the bedrock, the reason, the soul of this town My Rust Belt woman never let me down

02:09Every mile behind me, a lesson hard learned For every bridge I burned, a new path yearned

02:30Coming back humble with nothing to claim Just a beating heart, whispering her name

02:37Oh, she got fire in her heart And coal dust on her hands

02:49A true coal field rose in these weary wasted lands

02:51The river runs silent but her memory sings Love I abandoned on broken wings

02:57She's the bedrock, the reason, the soul of this town My Rust Belt woman never let me down

03:14Rust Belt woman Still got fire

03:20All her hands, hands

03:30Kia ora, Tofano. Like and subscribe. I dare ya.
