Nose On The Grindstone versuri

Nose On The Grindstone lyrics by Tyler Childers

Verse 1
Daddy worked like a mule minin’ Pike County coal
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”

Verse 2
„See, the ways of this world will just bring you to tears
Keep the Lord in your heart and you’ll have nothin’ 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”

Chorus
Well, Daddy 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 remembеr your words, Lord, they bring me to chills
„Keep your nose on thе grindstone and out of the pills”

Verse 3
„Now keep in mind that a man’s just as good as his word
It takes twice as long to build bridges you’ve burnt
And there’s hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills”

Chorus
Well daddy 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 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”
