Nose on the Grindstone (Live)

[Intro] This is "Nose On the Grindstone" Hold on [Verse 1] Daddy worked like a mule minin' Pike County coal 'Til he fucked 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 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" [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"
