Indigo Girls - Little Darling lyrics

Hey little darling There's something that you should know This things gonna hound every soul This thing they won't let us go Gonna break us down to nothing Gonna eat us from the inside out Hey little darling I don't want you to feeling the fallout Ah when the cancer finally took him I was watching the trucks pull in Me and your daddy we had a job Under the ground mining uranium Some things your daddy leaves you Some things he don't Some things are gonna be here anyhow And some things just won't One thing i want you to understand Is you ain't gotta be no mining man I curse the day that i went down And i pulled that sh** out of the ground Now we were living over in nevada That's where your people come from Your grandma would take me and your daddy On down to the gunnery range We sit and watch the bombs blow Until the sun goes down All those colors running like the painted desert And you get to see it now Them government boys have something so damn secret They had to hide it in the desert sand Out there the skies so big And there ain't no mistaking it Whose got the winning hand Ah Ah ah ah ah I said i've been all the way to alaska To a town they call point of hope Where they took some of what we got down here Just to see how it would grow I hear the lichen bought it And now it's running through the caribou I said soon little darling You'll get to feel it too Get to feel it too Oh i said soon little darling You'll get to feel it to Hmm hmm hmm yeah Oh yeah hmm hmm Hmm hmm hmm Oh yeah hmm hmm Hmm hmm hmm
