Down in the valley 'bout a mile from me Where the crows no longer cry There's a great big earth moving Monster machine, stands ten stories high
The ground he can eat is a sight Takes a hundred tons at a bite He can dig up the grass It's a fact but he can't put it back
They come and tell me I got to move Make way for that big machine But I ain't moving unless they kill me Like they killed the fish in my stream
But look at that big machine go Took that shady grove a long time to grow He can rip it out with one whack But he can't put it back
I never was one to carry signs Picket with placards, walk in lines Maybe I'm behind the times You can bet your sweet life They're gonna hear from me
I ain't gonna take it laying down 'Cause I'm getting tired seeing rocks that bleed On the bare guts of the ground I ain't gonna sell my soul
So they can strip out another little tiny vein of coal I ain't a-moving out of my tracks 'Cause they can't put it back They can't put it backTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
