Marietta Miner

Out here on the great plains there's an ocean of wheat

And the grain pull elevators are the highest thing you'll see

Way out on the harvest the sun is shining down

No one thinks of me way down underground

Doing time in a potash mine

There ain't no sun in Saskatchewan

Ain't no sun and there ain't no light at all

I've been asked many times before

What do they use potash for

I'm a Murrieta miner to the core

Analyzer, fertilizer, I don't wanna idolize her

Muckhound makes the meters split away

Catacombs go on and on

It's hot down here the whole year long

Room and pillar mining all the way

Doing time in a potash mine

There ain't no sun in Saskatchewan

Ain't no sun and there ain't no light at all

I've been asked many times before

What do they use potash for

I'm a Murrieta miner to the core

I don't even have a past

I was here when they sunk this shaft

I didn't come, I've been here all along

I don't know, it ain't my fault

I just like the taste of salt

And I'm all made right from potassium

Doing time in a potash mine

There ain't no sun in Saskatchewan

Ain't no sun and there ain't no light at all

I've been asked many times before

What do they use potash for

I'm a Murrieta miner to the core

I'm a Murrieta miner, that's for sure
