1.	Black Lung (OurVinyl Sessions) 03:28	lyrics	buy track
Verse 1 Basically we are all alone in the centre of a pickaxe mine Black lung stings as the pickaxe swings As the void of the mine closes in The Devil Came and the Angels sang A Song of the Holy Ghost Tempted the soul from the pennies to the gold Like the dust I spit from my mouth Chorus: Wooo oooo ooo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Verse 2 Remember the night with the barroom fight Where I killed all of my best friends We gambled it away with the whiskey open keg And we never saw it again Well I had a wife that I met back in High school Her name was Lyla-Jean We saved away to escape some place On a local miner's minor pay Chorus: Whooo oooo ooo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Verse 3 We saved so long the fall came and gone At Least 27 times It fell through the floorboards into deep dark darkness And we never saw it again West Virginia's home and that's where we're staying To the blade of the bible hymn Jesus says we're wicked so we just keep on pickin' At the scab of the open mine Chorus: Whooo oooo ooo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o
2.	Blue Trash (OurVinyl Sessions) 04:15	lyrics	buy track
Cry baby cry, crying all about Cause you be missin' that banjo sound Finger pickin' good and greasy bound So you run, all the way back to momma To grab your gun You keep playing in your mind That mando's playing time, after time Those backchop beats are feelin' just fine Take it away, foot stomps and gravy trains Where is the heart? Chorus: Sun down day turns to night Angel's singing, it sound just right Demon's playing, there ain't no fight You pray This music will go away You pure old heart Verse: I'm feelin' salty but I'm drinking sprite That tangy banjo's sounding So dang bright Heavy hearts to an empty stage right You say There is no bass today Low day don't feel so right Chorus: Sun down day turns to night Angel's singing, it sound just right Demon's playing, there ain't no fight You pray This music will go away You pure old heart Blue trash don't touch my art We want it back to how it was at the start Dead on the tracks why did we depart You done? Cause you cannot take away What's in our hearts today What's in our hearts Chorus: Sun down day turns to night Angel's singing, it sound just right Demon's playing, there ain't no fight You pray This music will go away You pure old heart Blue trash won't call it art They want it back to how it was at the start Dead on the track Why did we depart Well you done? Cause you cannot take away What's in our hearts today What's in our hearts this way What's in our hearts
