作词 : Tyler Childers 作曲 : Tyler Childers He drinks orange juice and vodka In the basement while she's talking To someone long distance for hours and hours on end And as he's slowly sippin' He thinks about his children And the heart attacks that youngest daughter's always giving him He ain't smoked no shit Since he got on with the railroad And he's been on with the railroad for a long and lonesome while But the day that he retires He will smoke himself to China He will leave behind his worries as he's racing through the sky Oh the days are dark down in the holler Waiting for the sun to shine On the back you've been breaking Trying to earn peace of mind She sells Avon to her buddies And saves a little money For all the makeup she's been using to hide away the years And she sits and watches TV Usually every evening If there ain't some kind of ball game her daughter has to cheer She sneaks menthols every morning While her family's still snoring As she burns the Eggos she looks back at her life That heart she broke in highschool He's singing on the Opry She wonders what the hell that she was thinking at the time Oh the days are dark down in the holler Waiting for the sun to shine On the back you've been breaking Trying to earn peace of mind Their youngest daughter Stella She's been running with this fella That he cannot stand the thought of, that he surely does despise He's told her he best never See the two of them together But it's hard to keep an eye on her when you're working all the time There are things he needs to tend to And the bills the bank keeps sendin' Lord, the zeros on the end keep pushing further to the right Like a freight train hauling sorrow And moving ever onward Through the tunnel of forever towards the never ending light
