The L & N Don't Stop Here Anymore Lyrics - Johnny Cash

When I was a curly headed baby 

My daddy sat me down upon his knee 

He said, "Boy, you go to school and learn your letters 

Don't you be a dirty miner like me" 

I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow 

Coal cars rambled past my door 

Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty 

And the L & N 

Don't stop here anymore

I used to think my daddy was a black man 

With script enough to buy the company store 

Now he goes downtown with empty pockets 

And his face is white as a February snow 

I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow 

Coal cars rambled past my door 

Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty 

And the L & N 

Don't stop here anymore 

Last night I dreamed I went down to the coal yard 

To draw my pay like I always did before 

But them ol' kudzu vines were comin' through the window 

And the leaves and grass were growin' through the floor

I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow 

Coal cars rambled past my door 

Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty 

And the L & N 

Don't stop here anymore
