A singer is a miner

I saw my friend the singer
opening his heart
and I got no surprises
I didn't stop and start
'cause we walk the same road
working from the heart

      A singer is a miner
       digging in his soul
      he's no weeper and no whiner
       and he never will get old
      a singer is a miner

I saw my friend the singer
and I knew the song
he's been that good for ages
and inside I sing along
about the good old country
where we all belong

I saw my friend the singer
giving all he could
mining our emotions
as I knew he would
not just going through the motions
but doing what he should
