[Verse] Down a dusty road, where the black seams run deep, Mama’s prayer and papa’s hand still guide me while I sleep. Coal dust on my boots, but a fire in my chest, Every dawn’s a promise that I’m headed for my best. [Pre-Chorus] There’s a whisper in the wind, calling out my name, A voice that says it’s time to chase the bigger flame. [Chorus] I’m just a coal town boy with a heart full of dreams, Rising from the ashes, breaking at the seams. Faith in every step, and hope in my eyes, I’m reaching for the sunlight beneath these smoky skies. I’m reaching for the sunlight beneath these smoky skies. [Verse] The church bells ring, and the mountains stand so tall, Taught me how to rise, even if I sometimes fall. With every mile I roam, I carry all I’ve known, In this small town heart, I’m never on my own. [Pre-Chorus] There’s a whisper in the wind, calling out my name, A voice that says it’s time to chase the bigger flame. [Chorus] I’m just a coal town boy with a heart full of dreams, Rising from the ashes, breaking at the seams. Faith in every step, and hope in my eyes, I’m reaching for the sunlight beneath these smoky skies. I’m reaching for the sunlight beneath these smoky skies. [Bridge] And when the nights get dark, I’ll hold my faith tight, Remember where I’m from, and that small town light. No matter how far, or how high I climb, That coal town boy is faithful all the time. [Chorus] I’m just a coal town boy with a heart full of dreams, Rising from the ashes, breaking at the seams. Faith in every step, and hope in my eyes, I’m reaching for the sunlight beneath these smoky skies. I’m reaching for the sunlight beneath these smoky skies. [Outro] Beneath these smoky skies, I’m reaching... Just a coal town boy, I’m reaching...
