Harlan Man — текст песни (Steve Earle)

Im a harlan man

Went down in the mine when I was barely grown

It was easy then

cause I didnt know what I know now

But Im a family man

And its the only life that Ive ever known

But Im a harlan man

Just as long as my luck and lungs hold out



Im a mountain man

Born in east kentucky and here Ill stay

And if its the good lords plan

Ill wake up in the mornin and find

Im lookin at the end

Of another long week and I can draw my pay

cause Im a harlan man

Never catch me whinin cause I aint that kind



Im a union man

Just like my daddy and all my kin

I took a union stand

No matter what the company said

I got me two good hands

And just as long as Im able I wont give in

cause Im a harlan man

A coal minin mother til the day Im dead
