Nose On The Grindstone

歌詞

Daddy worked like a mule mining Pike County coal 'Til he messed up his back, 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 will just bring you to tears Keep the Lord in your heart and you'll have nothing to fear Live the best that you can and don't lie and don't steal Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills." Well, daddy, I've been trying, I just can't catch a break There's 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." "Now keep in mind that a man's just as good as his word It takes twice as long to build bridges you've burned And there's hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills." Well, daddy, I've been trying, I just can't catch a break There's too much in this world 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 your nose on the grindstone
