Mining Man Video (MV)

This winter's so harsh
Too cold to breathe
I hold my hands to the fire
Coughing gets worse most every day
I must battle on
Show them I'm strong

I'm a mining man
A mining man
Living my life underground
I'm a mining man
A mining man
Praying I'll come home safe and sound

There's 4 kids at home
Needing feeding
A baby that cries all day long
There's no luxury
Just more drudgery
But for them I have to keep on

Last week they laid off a hundred
The month before many more
We work as we should
But it don't do no good
When the company shows you the door

The lift gates bang
We start to go down
Begin another shift
Eight hours in the damp
With just light from me lamp
Before I get back in that lift
