Tyler Childers - Nose on the Grindstone

Tyler Childers - Nose on the Grindstone 

Daddy worked like mule minin’ Pike County coal 
Til he messed up his back and couldn’t work anymore 
He said one of these days you’ll get out of these hills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and outta the pills
See the ways of this world will just bring you to tears
Keep the Lord in your heart and you’ll have nuttin’ to fear
Live the best that you can and don’t lie and don’t steal
Keep your nose on the grindstone and outta 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 outta the pills
Now keep in mind that a man’s just as good as his word
And it takes twice as long to build bridges you’ve burnt
And there is hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal
Keep your nose on the grindstone and outta 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 outta the pills
Keep your nose on the grindstone
