Nothin? Ever Changin?

Mamas tell the stories of the kin folk far away
Climb on the boat gonna? find a better way
Picks and shovels gonna? layem? down
Get outta? that mountain and come to town to stay
Rock ain?t gonna? fall on us, devil ain?t gonna? call our names no
more
New land gonna? set us free
Everything we wanna? be, for sure
But, nothin? ever changin? for the coal man
Nothin? ever changin? for the coal man
Nothin? ever changin? for the coal man

Cross that river and barbed wire late at night
Keep you head down and your babies out of sight
Two hundred miles to the San Joaquin
Black fertile ground it?s all you need to see
Coyote man just get his pay, blood and dollars and walk away
from you
New land gonna? set us free
Everything we wanna? be, for sure
But, nothin? ever changin? for the farm man
Nothin? ever changin? for the farm man
Nothin? ever changin? for the farm man

Push that rig, no fuel and miles to go
Shrimper in the bayou kids all needin? clothes
Big man always sayin? he?ll make things right
Vote him in, it?ll be alright, you?ll see
It?s gonna get better, the lord on his side, find the words keep us
all satisfied
New land gonna? set us free
Everything we wanna? be, for sure
But, nothin? ever changin? for the common man
Nothin? ever changin? for the common man
Nothin? ever changin? for the common man

Whoa, nothin? ever changin?
