First Day Down The Mine
(PRS/MCPS ©Dave Gibb 2019


I'm walking out the darkness man
Heading up towards the light
Believe me when I tell you man
I will sleep so well tonight
I'll sleep so sound and tight

I don't know how I did it
But I made it through my first day down the mine

My back is sore with bending lord
My muscles burn and ache
My hands are raw and bleeding now
Don't know how much more I can take
Taken all that I can take

I don't know how I did it
But I made it through my first day down the mine

I want to see the daylight lord
I want to breathe that sweet fresh air
Rain or snow or sunshine lord
I really couldn't care
As long as I am out of here

I don't know how I did it
But I made it through my first day down the mine

I'll make it back home somehow lord
And try to soothe this pain
Try and forget about tomorrow lord
When I'll have to do it all again
My god! I'll have to do it all again

I don't know how I did it
But I made it through my first day down the mine
