Silver Lining Lyrics by Murphy’s Kids

Time Dilation

2017

[Chorus]
If you want that silver lining
You got to get down in the mine
Do your part, fill your cart
Send it on down the line (down the line)
[You're gonna] get black lung in the process
You know you’re gonna do your time
If you want that silver lining
You got to get down in the mine

Summer comes and goes
For those up in the daylight
It's dark and it's cold
It’s quiet in the afternoons
There's only one way down
For those who want to [stay right]
And no one knows what day it is
But Friday can't come too soon

[Chorus]
If you want that silver lining
You got to get down in the mine
Do your part, fill your cart
Send it on down the line (down the line)
[You're gonna] get black lung in the process
You know you're gonna do your time
If you want that silver lining
You got to get down in the mine

Traveling man once asked me
Is it money that you seek
And it's true a life like this
Is gonna take its toll
And it might make you weary
And it might make you weak
It might take your body
But you can't keep your soul

[Chorus]
If you want that silver lining
You got to get down in the mine
Do your part, fill your cart
Send it on down the line (down the line)
[You're gonna] get black lung in the process
You know you’re gonna do your time
If you want that silver lining
You got to get down in the mine

[Instrumental]

[?] common sense
There’s no more work to do
But I'll make all my money
Way up in the hills
If I can’t feed my family
That's no concern to you
I suppose that that's all well and good
But that don't pay my bills

[Chorus]
If you want that silver lining
You got to get down in the mine
Do your part, fill your cart
Send it on down the line (down the line)
[You’re gonna] get black lung in the process
You know you're gonna do your time
So if you get black lung, God heaven
You know you're gonna do your time

If you want that silver lining
You got to get down in the mine

[Instrumental]
