Nose on the Grindstone (OurVinyl Sessions)
Daddy worked like a mule mining pike county coal
He fucked up his back he couldn't work anymore
He said one of these days you'll get out of these hills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
See the ways of this world just to bring you to tears
Keep the lord in your heart you'll have nothing to fear
Live the best that you can and don't lie and don't steel
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Well daddy I've been trying i just can't catch a break
Theirs too much in this world that i can't seem to shake
But i remember your words lord they bring me to chills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Keep in mind that a mans just as good as his word
It takes twice as long to build bridges you burn
And there is hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
