The Mountain Gives, The Mountain Takes
“The Mountain Gives, The Mountain Takes” is a Kin & Coal song about the hard bargain mountain families have always known. The mountains gave shelter, work, timber, coal, creek water, family roots, and a place to belong. But they also took their share — strong backs, young sons, quiet dreams, and names now resting on hillside cemeteries. This song is for the ones who stayed, the ones who left, and the ones the mountain kept.
