  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
  • A singer-songwriter from near Cattletsburg, Kentucky, he now works full-time as a musician. His musical passion started as a young teen, when his dad bought him his first guitar in 8th grade. It was really his stepdad, Scott Sword, who encouraged his learning, and Cole credits him with being the real reason he started playing.

    This song really speaks to me. I come from a long line of West Virginia coal miners who were so poor they couldn’t even afford to go to school, let alone move somewhere else and find better jobs. It took a group effort to get them out of the holler and into a city a state away for a better shot at life, and my dad doesn’t let me forget what it took from my grandfathers so that him, my brother, and I could live better lives and not have to work in those mines.

    My dad told me he would break my legs if he caught me in the coal mines and to leave and do something different. I went to war, found the love of my life on an island, then became a tug captain. No regrets except because I left, I never had enough time with my dad after that. He is still the greatest man I've ever known.

    This will go down in history for one of the best Western classic country songs ever written. The story telling is great, the tone and temp pace the story and you can feel the description in the lyrics and voice. It's very well put together and I'm very surprised he isn't getting credit that needs to be given to him. Cole Chaney has pure talent

      You are entirely correct. People who are not born in our mountains cant understan this. Many may not understand but special things happened long ago here and special prayers were prayer and heard and their is a spiritual inheritance and a Prescence here that is unlike any other in the world and resembles only by the highland in the europe that we mostly came from. Ask The Hold Ghost of God to show you and he will help you understand my friend. :)

    Eastern Kentucky has really turned out some of the best singer/songwriters in the last 10 years. I mean, not just good musicians, but great songwriters too. Music is my lifeblood, and musicians like this just haunt you with lyrics matched with their vocals. That's coming from an East Tennessean. There's a music festival here called Bristol Rhythm and Roots, and I'd love to see you there next year. Jason Isbell is headlining this year I believe.

    In Johnson county holler where the minin' company bloomed
    He lived in a house with all five brothers, his dearest sisters too
    The summer heat was as bad as the mud that the human air did brew
    In the winter the snow just blowed on in through holes in the wall you could throw a dog through
    As an able-bodied boy he lied about his age
    To help his father break away from the rattle of a poor man's ball and chain
    They made him shoot their coal and he was grateful at the time
    There was many a boy that'd done the same and they'd never come out alive
    Better run coalshooter run
    Run away as fast as you can
    And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
    Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
    If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
    Well they were bitin' down on blasting caps just doing like daddy asked
    Even though they knew that the next bite down could surely be their last
    You ain't got no time to be scared no, with dynamite in your hands
    Don't hesitate boy cause if you slip up, son you're as good as dead
    Better run coalshooter run
    Run away as fast as you can
    And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
    Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should liveIf you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
    They sent him deep into the mine where a boy can't see the light of day
    Guided by the lamp on his head in the dark he begins
    To pray that the fuses were all cut right and that a stray spark don't take light
    And prays that he won't die in this mine, he hates the thought
    Mama Cries
    You better run coalshooter run
    Run away as fast as you can
    And when you get to the end of the tunnel just keep on runnin' my friend
    Cause this ain't no kind of life that a young man should live
    If you can run faster than gunpowder burns you might see the light again
    You might see the light again
