Crooked Road Lyrics - Heart Of Stone - Chris Knight

Got married at 16, had a 15 year old wife 

Guess I've been a grown man, just about all my life 

Like my daddy before me, I've done the best I could 

Somehow things turned out a little worse than they should 

Logan West Virginia is a hundred mile behind 

Coal mines took my boys life and my Janie's piece of mind 

All I know is back in Logan and I ain't never been that smart 

But I know I had to leave there to heal my Janie's heart 

Damn these hard times, damn the coal mines 

Damn the good dreams gone cold 

While I'm at it, damn this crooked road 

Me and Janie worked hard to get our children grown 

Junior was our first born it's cut us to the bone 

We learned long ago that you don't doubt the good lords plan 

But some things is hard to take lord, we just tryin' to understand 

But damn these hard times, damn the coal mines 

Damn the good dreams gone cold 

While I'm at it, damn this crooked road 

There's a big blue ocean another 300 mile 

Sun on the water just might make my Janie smile 

Light in her eyes is worth more to me than gold 

Hope runs straight line right down this mountain road 

So damn these hard times, damn the coal mines 

Damn the good dreams gone cold 

While I'm at it, damn this crooked road 

While I'm at it, damn this crooked road
