_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
He's a outlaw, quick on the draw.
Cast a first stone if you don't have [A] a flaw.
Who fills your jail?
Who lives above [Dm] the law?
White collar, black market.
[C] Who's rich?
Who's poor?
[D] Never knew my father because he worked all day.
Left the house sundown, that's a comb on [A] his way.
The pay was real good, he made 70k, but [D] it wasn't worth all the things he had to give away.
His father did the same thing, same type.
Took everything he had until it took his [A] life.
When I lost my [D] grandfather I was 7 years old.
Decided that in there I would never mind.
Poe.
That plus [Dm] the dust on everything in our home.
A quarter inch thick on every single thing we own, but that [A] was nothing compared to what
we [Dm] couldn't see.
Toxic particles in the air we had to breathe.
He tried so hard to be relocated.
His boss wouldn't do it and my mom was [A] devastated.
He started a petition and everyone enlisted.
Until [Dm] he lost his job and he got blacklisted.

During this time I got to know my dad.
He would tell me stories about the job he [A] had.
It's the culture around here and it makes people [Dm] proud.
Basically it's pretty much the only job around.
He told me how they took apart the ventilation system.
Sent two men instead of one to speed up the [A] production.
They knew it wasn't safe but they followed the [Dm] instructions.
100 feet of coal a day that wasn't only function.
No matter if it took 12 hours or 16.
They took shortcuts to keep the operation [A] lean.
Skipping safety measures made it risky for the team.
But they all knew the [Dm] deal so nobody intervened.
When inspectors came, watchdogs would let them know.
At out their dust pumps so the levels read [A] low.
The more [D] violations, the more production grows.
Someone dies from black lung every time the wind [Dm] blows.

Then it came time for me to go out on my own.
A tear in my mama's eye.
Child, you've [A] grown.
Can't recall a time when I felt so [Dm] alone.
As when I headed straight into the danger zone.
Always good at science.
Always loved chemistry.
But here in West Virginia, there's not a lot of options.
[A] See, my buddy had a meth lab.
He [Dm] ran underground.
Out of a mobile home on the outskirts of town.
Business was picking up and he could use my help.
Learn the red, white, and blue process for [A] myself.
Iodine, ephedrine, [Dm] red phosphorus.
Highly combustible and high risk.
Bam.
Lost my hand.
Blew up the lab.
And from a jail cell, I would hear the same [A] blast.
But this came from [Dm] the big branch coal mine.
I just found out that it killed 25.
