Let me tell you a story about my time in the mine
I started working here back in sixty-five
Straight outta the army, had a goal in mind
Who’da dreamed that I’d be here for the rest of my life
I spend every day here digging a hole
Try to get out, but in deeper I go
They’re trying to sell hope of escape in the green
I just keep telling myself, I’m living the dream
Friends always told me, “don’t marry that gold diggin’ whore
Cause she’ll leave you high and dry, in her quest for more”
To me this little lady seemed the dreamy kind
No thanks to her I’ll be stuck here for the rest of my life
I spend every day here digging a hole
Try to get out, but in deeper I go
They’re trying to sell hope of escape in the green
I just keep telling myself, I’m living the dream
When the Sandman come to get me
He’d better bring an army
Cause I’ll have my fifth of whiskey
And my dancing shoes, will be upon me
I spend every day here digging a hole
Try to get out, but in deeper I go
They’re trying to sell hope of escape in the green
I just keep telling myself, I’m living the dream
They’re trying to sell hope of escape in the green
I just keep telling myself, I’m living the dream

As these blue-grays top my head
I find the days wishing for dead
Are growing far and fewer in between
With all the love that surrounds me
I have a tough time not finding
Reasons to live thankfully
Like wild flower painted meadows
Fiery sunsets shared with fellow
True Friends and Enemies
Home-cooked meals made by mama
Rainy days that make you wanna
Snuggle up by fireside with me
I see a quick approaching shadow
Nearing the end of a great battle
Time is short, thank the Lord
For the good and the bad
Don't take for granted
The little that we have
I watch the wheels keep turning
Lessons heard, the children learning
Teaching love, patiently
As the days spin quickly by
I want to live to be alive
Not miss beauty surrounding me
Like wild flower painted meadows
Fiery sunsets shared with fellows
Who've shared the road with me
Home-cooked meals made by mama
Rainy days that make you wanna
Wash clean the devils that we've seen
I see a quick approaching shadow
Nearing the end of a great battle
Time is short, thank the Lord
For the good and the bad
Don't take for granted
The little that we have

There’s no way I’m leaving now
I’ve tilled my sweat into this ground
Get on your horse, ride back to town
Tell ‘em I ain’t leaving without a sound
Better bring your guns
There’s no way I’m leaving now
I’ve spilled my tears upon this ground
Years of heartbreak built this vow
Son, I ain’t leaving. Go back to town
Better bring your guns
Just know that I won’t run
Better bring your guns
Just know that I won’t run
There’s no way I’m leaving now
Before my blood spills on this ground
My soul will survive to hunt you down
I’m tellin' you, it’d be best to turn around
Better bring your guns
Just know that I won’t run
Better bring your guns
Just know that I won’t run
There’s no way I’m leaving now

Five ‘til midnight on the clock
Spent all day here at the shop
My eyes are tired, his full of pride
As I start to grin he smiles wide
He locks the door with weathered hands
I hear the voice of a strong man
Smile my dear son,
Take pride in the work we’ve done
It’s five ‘til seven on the clock
We’d better head down to the shop
My eyes still tired, but full of pride
I’ll carry on this legacy, until I die
Pat my son’s shoulder, with a weathered hand
Gently guiding to build a strong man
Smile my dear son,
Take pride in the work we’ve done
It’s three am on the clock
Honey I’m headed to the shop
My eyes are tired, for tears I’ve cried
Just can’t sleep, since Daddy died
Miss you dearly, but I know who I am
And I promise I’ll live as a strong man

Duane Mark Austin, Texas
Duane Mark is the kind of person that hasn't always known where to fit in, but has always had a passion to share ideas. Over the years, with much trial and error, this singer-songwriter has continued to push past the concept of genre boundaries. Letting the song's story speak the musical sound, this approach creates a unique blend of characteristics... a brand we like to call AmeriKINDA. ... more
