Chris Knight - Crooked Road Lyrics
When I was 16 took me a 15 year old wife
I guess I've been a working man just about all my life
Like my daddy before me I've done the best I could
Somehow things turned out a little worse than they should
Coal mines took my boys life and my Janies piece of mind
All I know is back in Logan I ain't never been that smart
But I know I had to leave there to heal my Janies heart
Damn these hard times
Damn the coal mines
Damn the good dreams gone cold
While I'm at it, damn this crooked road
Me and Janie worked hard to get our children grown
We learned long ago that you don't doubt the good lords plans
But some things is hard to take lord we just tryin' to understand
There's a big blue ocean about 300 mile
Sun on the water just might make my Janie smile
Light in her eyes is worth more to me to me than gold
Hope runs straight line right down this mountain road
Damn these hard times
Damn these coal mines
Damn the good dreams gone cold
While I'm at it, damn this crooked road
While I'm at it, damn this crooked road

Chris Knight Crooked Road Comments
Raised North and just South of you brother, with you so far. Lost a ballgame, won a few...Logan was and will always be respected.
Would like to talk to you about writing a song for my you tube page. With part of the chorus having the words pour me. Please let me know
The man can really convey a feeling. Well done.
"Damn the good dreams gone cold..n while i'm at it..Damn this crooked road." Damn..Chris is the king of Kentucky.
Lincoln County West Virginia here.. Lord it hits you to the bones!
Fuckin' Chris Knight, son.
The iron, good friend of mine showed me this music ,maybe I wouldn't be so scatter if I jammed this instead of the hip hop
Worked the mines in Boone county, touches close to home.
this was the first Chris Knight song I ever heard, I was driving at the time and had to pull over to listen. It was one of those very rare "WTF am I listening to?" moments. The radio presenter said who it was and then said he thought Chris was as good a song writer as Bruce Springsteen, I have to agree. Since then I have bought every album Chris has made and wish most sincerley that he would buy an air ticket and come to the UK to perform here. We need more like him and less of the usual c**p we get to hear.
Baker Boy did you just censor the word crap?
24 people dislike. Damn this world is crazy. This is awesome music. Filled with heart and soul. 🎸 🎶 🍻 🥃 🎸
Really shows what people care about these days. Just a bunch of loud meaningless beats are pretty much all you hear in most popular songs. Good music like this needs more recognition
I keep coming back to this song.
Cool to see a fellow railfan here! Crooked Road is actually a different take on Last Train Home by the Pat Metheny Group.
@Kenny Fields Awesome!
Hell yes
Chris knight is so damn cool to us in Appalachia
Chris knight has been there done that
So much truth in this song. I feel like he's singing about troubles I've had.
Two Bells im out of food and single and cannot do nothing about it till i find work
@Marty Bec.
Lose the phone. Buy food.
It gets down to priorities.
Keep positive.
@Marty Bec. Hope you are doing better these days. I feel like some days are tougher than others, but I make the best of it. I work three part time jobs just to make ends meet, and I have several volunteer positions. I hardly have any friends, and it's tougher that I also have a hidden disability that most people don't recognize. I work on a railroad, and it's a lonely life on the railroad. I am also a train enthusiast (railfan) from Oregon.
It don't get much better than
CK.
This is the best singer/songwriter out there right now!
Chris, Tyler, and Colter nourish my soul.
@Cici Bradley heck yeah! Three of the greatest artists ever right there
