Nose on the Grindstone (OurVinyl Sessions) - Tyler Childers, OurVinyl

Daddy worked like a mule mining 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 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 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 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 the chills

Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills

Keep your nose on the grindstone
