Chain-Gang Blues (Southern Gothic Country) - Dark Country Boy
Dust in my lungs, rocks on my back
Sun beating down, sky fades to black
Chains on my ankles can't move fast
Breaking rocks under the sun
Day's over just begun
Breaking rocks under the sun
Shovel hits stone, sparks in the air
Sweat runs like rivers but nobody cares
Every step heavy, nothing's fair
Breaking rocks under the sun
Day's over just begun
Breaking rocks under the sun
Hands cracked, bleeding, time drips slow
Freedom's a dream I'll never know
Just this chain, just this shadow
Breaking rocks under the sun
Day's over just begun
Breaking rocks under the sun
