MULE IN THE MINE
(Joe Forkan/Eric Stoner)

My girl says she loves me, she must think I’m blind
She’s got me working day and night, like a mule down in the mine

Doesn’t dare to lead me, up into the light
She knows if I could tell the difference
She’d never get me back down in the mine

Our story started in the sunshine
On a summer’s day with color all around
She cinched up the harness, while I was looking in her eyes
Then she slowly walked me underground

Down here in the darkness, warmth’s a memory
A cold parade of endless days, gonna be the death of me

A mule’s a beast of burden, they’ll work until they fall
But I cannot stay here one more day, just kicking in her stall

Must be the time to make a break
From this place – don't know where I am bound
Come tomorrow morning, I’ll be standing in the sun
Life’s too short to spend it underground
