[Verse] 
Black dust in my lungs I can’t shake it 
The sun’s just a rumor underground 
Pickaxe swinging where the shadows break it 
The echoes whisper they’re the only sound 
 
[Chorus] 
Kentucky gold buried deep in the stone 
A man trades his breath for a house and a loan 
The earth takes her share till there’s nothing to own 
Kentucky gold feels colder than bone 
 
[Verse 2] 
I’ve seen daylight in the shape of my child 
Her laugh like a breeze through the pines 
I’ve heard the coal seams groan and grow wild 
They say it’s a living but it’s stealing our time 
 
[Prechorus] 
And the canary stopped singing 
While the gears kept spinning 
 
[Chorus] 
Kentucky gold buried deep in the stone
