Chris Knight Crooked Road Lyrics

Crooked Road lyrics

When I was 16 took me a 15 year old wife
I guess Ive been a working man just about all my life
Like my daddy before me Ive 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 Janies piece of
mind
All I know is back in Logan I ain't never been that
smart
But I know I had to leave there to heal my Janies heart

[Chorus]
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
[- From :http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/chris-knight-lyrics/crooked-road-lyrics.html -]
Junior was our first born and he gut us to the bone
We learned long ago that you don't doubt the good lords
plans
But some things is hard to take lord we just tryin' to
understand

[Chorus]

Theres a big blue ocean about 300 mile
Sun on the water just might make my Janie smile
Light in her eyes is worth more to me to me than gold
Hope runs straight line right down this mountain road

Damn these hard times
Damn these 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
