Another day, gonna ride deeper in that
This ain't be long till you call me, cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
[F] [F#] Fuckin' fuckin' deadass, fuckin' deadass
I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I started to mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine gold
The strong boss said, well now bless his soul
He loaded sixteen tons and what did he get?
Another day, gonna ride deeper in that
This ain't be long till you call me, cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
You see me coming, you better step aside
A lot of men didn't live a long time
One feels divine, the other one all steel
The right [C#] ones don't get you, then the left one will you [F#] load?
Sixteen tons and what did you get?
Another day, gonna ride deeper in that
This ain't be long till you call me, cause I can't go
I owe my [B] soul to the company store
