Dad-

dy

worked

like

a

mule

mi-

nin'

Pike

Coun-

ty

coal

He

fucked

up

his

back

couldn't

work

a-

ny-

more

He

said,

One

of

these

days

you'll

get

out

of

these

hills

Keep

your

nose

on

the

grind-

stone

and

out

of

the

pills

See,

the

ways

of

this

world

will

just

bring

you

to

tears

Keep

the

Lord

in

your

heart

you'll

have

no-

thin'

to

fear

Live

the

best

that

you

can

and

don't

lie

and

don't

steal

Keep

your

nose

on

the

grind-

stone

and

out

of

the

pills

Well

dad-

dy

I've

been

tryin',

I

just

can't

catch

a

break

There's

too

much

in

this

world

I

can't

seem

to

shake

But

I

re-

mem-

ber

your

words,

Lord,

they

bring

me

the

chills

Keep

your

nose

on

the

grind-

stone

and

out

of

the

pills

Keep

in

mind

that

a

man's

just

as

good

as

his

word

It

takes

twice

as

long

to

build

brid-

ges

you've

burned

And

there's

hurt

you

can

cause

time

a-

lone

can-

not

heal

Keep

your

nose

on

the

grind-

stone

and

out

of

the

pills

Well

dad-

dy

I've

been

tryin',

I

just

can't

catch

a

break

There's

too

much

in

this

world

I

can't

words,

Lord,

they

bring

me

the

chills

Keep

your

Keep
