Johnny Cash - When I Stop Dreaming Lyrics

When I was a curly headed baby
My daddy sat me down upon his knee he said
"Boy, you go to school and learn your letters
Don't you be a dirty miner like me"
I was born and raised in the mouth of the hazard
Hollow coal cars rambled past my door now
They're standin' in a rusty row all empty
And the l & n don't stop here anymore
I used to think my daddy was a black man
With script enough to buy the company store
Now he goes downtown with empty pockets
And his face is white as a february snow
I was born and raised in the mouth of the
Hazard hollow coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty
And the l & n don't stop here anymore
Last night I dreamed I went down
To the coal yard to draw my pay like
I always did before but them ol' kudzu vines
Were comin' through the window and the leaves
And grass were growin' through the floor
I was born and raised in the mouth
Of the hazard hollow coal cars rambled
Past my door now they're standin' in a rusty row
All empty and the l & n don't stop here anymore
