	Story Behind the Song This song is about growing up in a family that survives from working in the coal mines of America. It tells the story of hardships and betrayal of building your life around a town that is solely populant because of coal. But when corporate hands take their hold the working man is without a home. Lyrics Coal Burnt Town Lyrics by Adam Howell and Mike Scaggs Music by Adam Howell Living in this tiny town not much to see or talk about Met people I thought were real most of them had to leave against their will A mountaintop is my life's main run Been diggin' coal since I was 21 Sales are down jobs heading out No money saved, guess we'll do without Just another coal burnt town Hardly anyone left around Just another coal burnt town Streets filled with ghost when the job shut down In this coal....burnt town I used to think miners had it made Now I see how my poor daddy slaved Traded lungs for a bucket of coal Just for his kids lord rest his soul With this rock for roof overhead I remember every word he said Don't become a man like me Go to college then raise you're family Just another coal burnt town Hardly anyone left around Just another coal burnt town Streets filled with ghost when the job shut down In this coal....burnt town Hard to picture leaving here Just the thought of it brings me to tears But you see there's more than me Like my daddy I have a family Just another coal burnt town Hardly anyone left around Just another coal burnt town Streets filled with ghost when the job shut down In this coal...... In this coal...... Such a coal....burnt town
