It ain't never comin' back

Oh, how I long for the days of my childhood

Sky looked blue but the river ran black

Way down in the Premier Coal Mine

My daddy crawled on his hands and knees
Tryin' to make a dollar
F C
He did it all for my mom and me
[Pre-Chorus 2]

But it put my dad in an early grave, boy

My daddy's gone, he can't come back

Oh, how I long for the days of my childhood

Years have come and gone now

I'm still here, where it all began
Tryin' to make a dollar
F C
Just like my dad did, way back then
[Pre-Chorus 3]
F C
Cause there's just somethin' about these mountains
F C
That keeps a good man comin' back
F C
Searchin' for the the days of his childhood
[Chorus]
