Canary in a Coal Mine
Old man Pkipsey turned the light on
A little bit too late
Never even saw it coming
I wonder When he departed did he feel pain
Or bid farewell to his widowed woman

A handle of whiskey and a shotgun
A little leap of faith
Baby you could hit the ground runnin'
As for me and mine
It's best to keep those thoughts in line
Don't give them a reason to come out gunnin'

Canary in a coal mine
Stone cold patsy on the rail
Now his tombstone is a road sign
Took one in the marble
O'er a two dollar bill

The moon seems to hide bеhind desire
This side of town
Past midnight back rooms bеst left alone
But that old man
He was a gambler to the core
Emptied his pockets long before
He made it home
Emptied his pockets long before
He made it home
Canary in a coal mine
Stone cold patsy on the rail
Now his tombstone is a road sign
Took one in the marble
O'er a two dollar bill
