about

How does this song speak to you if it does that is?

lyrics

I see an old man but younger than he’s gonna be
Not such an old man just ask that guy that’s 83
They see the sunrise and vow to live another day
Taking all the punches and prays for peace along the way

Black lung of the soul get your hands off me,
Black lung of the soul don’t you got some better place to be
Black lung of the soul get your filthy hands off me

My bones tell a story of every place that they have been
Wrestling with the devil has never been a sin
My eyes are fading but bright enough to see the sun
My eyes they’re drowning when I’m seeing all the damage done

Black lung of the soul get your hands off me
Black lung of the soul don’t you have some better place to be
Black lung of the soul get your filthy hands off me

I started with this thin skin Lord knew so well that I would change
The skin has turned to leather with a sacred heart in its cage

Black lung of the soul get your hands off me
Black lung of the soul ain’t you got some better place to be
Black lung of the soul get your filthy hands off
