Back to the Grindstone - Ronnie Milsap

I always wanted an occupation

Something to do that I enjoyed

I always has this fascination

With music as a boy

And so I listened

To radio and records

Something they said

And something that they had to play

And I can hear and feel

Their heart and soul emotion

In the music I make today

I’m talking about music, music

Got to keep these wheels turning

Just can’t let 'em stop

I got to give it all I got

Got to keep this fire burning

You see it sure takes blood and sweat

I play one turn around and get

Back to the grindstone

Back to the grindstone

I keep my feet on the ground

And my head out of the clouds

And my back to the grindstone

I always wanted an education

And on the road I get one every day

That’s where I learn about fan appreciation

They come to hear and I come to play

But I can’t offer any solution

Something to hear or something to say

I just want to make a contribution

With the music I play today

I’m talking about music, music

Got to keep these wheels turning

Just can’t let 'em stop

Got to keep this fire burning

You see it sure takes blood and sweat

I play one, turn around and get

Back to the grindstone

Back to the grindstone

I keep my feet on the ground

And my head out of the clouds

And my back to the grindstone…
