lyrics

Black coal dirt lines my father's grave
Overlooking the town where he was raised.
Where a chapel on the left, a quart store on the right
Greet the townsfolk every day, help them sleep at night.
... or so they say...

...but I can't believe
I can't believe...

Black mascara lines my mother's face
Stripping her of soul and robbing her of age.
She swears... she kept the faith.
Yeah she says, "my son, don't you know that I prayed?"

... but I can't believe
I can't believe...
I can't believe a thing she says.

Black Label, I've got my old man's taste
Every shot we take brings me closer to that place
So we drink til' that feeling went away
And we sang til' that music wouldn't play.

... but I can't believe
I can't believe...
I can't believe a thing you say.
