A Salt Mine Lyrics

Sweating in the sun - 'til the day is done
Loadin' up my 15 tons
Cuts on my hands - sweat in my eyes
Grinding my flesh and bones

Loading the train - grain by grain
Feeling the pain - making haste
Passing the time - things on my mind
Healing with time - no time to waste

Saltiness in the salt - salting the Earth
The reason I sing - trying to bring
Glory to him - what he's worth

Trampled under wheels - maybe how it feels
Thrown down into the cracks
Turn another page - and you get your wage
What a man sows is coming back

Loading the train - grain by grain
Feeling the pain - making haste
Passing the time - things on my mind
Healing with time - no time to waste

Saltiness in the salt - salting the Earth
The reason I sing - trying to bring
Glory to him - what he's worth

Sweat until I'm done - out in the sun
Loadin' up a hundred and 15 tons
Cuts on my skin - sweat on my brow
Grinding me down to the bone

Loading the grains - onto the train
Healing my mind - the passing of time
'Til the day is done - sweatin' in the sun
Making my wage

Saltiness
Saltiness
Saltiness
Saltiness
