Life is old th

     
ere, older tha

n the trees,
             
Younger than t

              
he mountains, 

             
growin' like a

 
 breeze.

To the place I

nd her,
             
Miner's lady, 

             
stranger to bl

   
ue water.
              
Dark and dusty

  
, painted on t

he sky,
             
Misty taste of

             
 moonshine, te

             
ardrop in my e

ye.

[Verse]

          
I hear her voi

           
ce, in the mor

nin' hours she

 calls me, 
            
The radio remi

             
nds me of my h

ome far away.
           
And drivin' do

       
wn the road,
             
I get a feelin

me yesterday,
      
yesterday.
