Nose On The Grindstone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Daddy worked like a mule minin' Pike County coal
'Til he fucked 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 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 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
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 the chills
Keep your nose on the grindstone 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 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 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 the chills
Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills
Keep your nose on the grindstone
