Thank You (Miner’s Song) By Reagan Boggs He fills his thermos and coffee mug He stops and picks up some jersey gloves Throws em on his dinner bucket Full of leftovers that he won’t heat up Foggy winding up the hill on this long haul road Hugging the edge as the rigs pass by too close Mud in the floorboard dirt in the seats This old work truck smells stale and sweet He gets his lamp checks the charge Picks his tag up off the board Battery on his belt at the hip Hops a ride with guys on the mantrip Belly turns to butterflies going down that hole He’s done this a 1000 times but you just never know He can stand if he’s on his knees and no matter The weather it’s 50 degrees Chorus: There’s a man with calloused hands Who is loading that black rock Risks his life for me to have all I’ve got Nothing‘s glamorous about wearing that coal dust But he does what he has to do and I thank you Overalls white with powdered lime Keeps the dust down most of the time Bolter drills on the section ahead One wrong move and that boy could be dead Miner’s making feet today we’ll see how far Laying down driving this shuttle car By shift end when it’s time to go home The dampness has gone straight to the bone Chorus: Bridge: We can light the night Cause he’s in the dark TVs blaring cell phones charged He’s the reason for my job Puts the steel in my car I sit here in the central air He’s out there . . . .and I thank you
