Travelin' down that coaltown road,
沿着煤城公路行驶
Listen to my rubber tires whine;
听着橡胶轮胎的响声
Goodbye to Buckeye and White Sycamore

I'm leavin' you behind.

Layin' down track in the hole,
在矿洞里铺轨道
Got a back like an ironwood bent by the wind
脊背像被风吹弯的铁树
Blood veins blue as the coal.

Blood veins blue as the coal
