And the clothes hangin' out on the line

[Instrumental]

[3rd Chorus]
She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window
And they're headin' up to Vegas tonight
How could 18 years just up and walk away
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin' out on the line

"Coalmine"

Shotgun houses, shanty shacks
Countin' those ties on the railroad track
Thirty-four more, it's almost time
To see my baby walking out of that

[Chorus:]
Coalmine, covered with dust
T-shirt tired, all muscled up
All mine, head to toe
Come on, come on, whistle, blow
I can't wait to get him home
Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on
Gonna keep him busy 'til its time

He goes back to that coalmine

Some girls like them gussied up
Wearing all that smelly stuff
To me there's nothing quite so fine
As my man standing in front of that

[2nd Chorus:]
Coalmine, covered with dust
T-shirt tied, all muscled up
All mine, head to toe
Come on, come on whistle, blow
Power's out, well that's all right
We'll make love by a miner's light
Gonna keep him busy 'til its time

He goes back to that coalmine

Shotgun houses, shanty shacks
Countrin' those ties on the railroad track
Just two more, it's almost time
To see my baby walking out of that

[3rd Chorus:]
Coalmine, covered with dust
T-shirt tied, all muscled up
All mine, head to tow
Come on, come on whistle, blow
Don't want no white-collared man
Midnight, I like calloused hands
To keep me busy 'til its time

He goes back to that coalmine

I can't wait to get him home
Ain't gonna have nothing but the supper on
Power's out, well that's all right
We'll make love by a miner's light
Don't want no white-collared man
Midnight, I live calloused hands
To keep me bust 'til its time
He goes back to that coalmine

"A Real Fine Place To Start"

I'm gonna do it darlin'...
I could waste time tryin' the figure it out,
But I'm jumpin' in anyhow.
I've never been this far;
Didn't know love could run so deep...

Didn't know I'd lose this much sleep.

Holdin' you close, chasin' that moon.
Spendin' all night,
Lovin' just who you are...
Sparks flyin' in the dark.
Shootin' out lights, huntin' down dreams,
Figurin' out what love really means...
Baby, givin' you my heart,

Is a real fine place to start.

Somethin' is goin' on,
I can't explain but sure can touch...
It's callin' both of us.
Stronger than any fear or doubt,
It's changin' everything I see...

It's changin' you, it's changin' me.

Holdin' you close, chasin' that moon.
Spendin' all night,
Lovin' just who you are...
Sparks flyin' in the dark.
Shootin' down lights, runnin' down dreams,
Figurin' out what love really means...
Baby, givin' you my heart,

Is a real fine place to start.

Right here, right now's the perfect spot, the perfect time.
The perfect moment when your skin is next to mine.

[Instrumental break]

Yeah, yeah...
Holdin' you close, (Holdin' you close.)
Chasin' that moon. (Chasin' that moon.)
Spendin' all night,
Lovin' just who you are...
Sparks flyin' in the dark.
Shootin' out lights, (Shootin' down lights.)
Runnin' down dreams, (Runnin' down dreams.)
Figurin' out just what love really means...
Baby, givin' you my heart's a real fine place,
Real fine place to start.
Oh yeah.
Oh, oh, oh.
