[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] 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" [Verse 3] "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"

[Verse 1] Early in the morning when the sun does rise Layin' in the bed with bloodshot eyes Late in the evenin' when the sun sinks low That's about time my rooster crows [Verse 2] I got women up and down this creek And they keep me going and my engine clean Run me ragged but I don't fret 'Cause there ain't been one slow me down, none yet [Chorus] Get me drinkin' that moonshine Get me higher than the grocery bill Take my troubles to the highwall Throw 'em in the river and get your fill We've been sniffing that cocaine Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold Lord it's a mighty hard livin' But a damn good feelin' to run these roads [Verse 3] I got people try to tell me, Red Keep this livin' and you'll wind up dead Cast your troubles on the Lord of lords Or wind up laying on a cooling board [Verse 4] But I got buddies up White House Road And they keep me strutting when my feet hang low Rotgut whiskey gonna ease my pain An' all this runnin's gonna keep me sane [Chorus] Get me drinkin' that moonshine Get me higher than the grocery bill Take my troubles to the highwall Throw 'em in the river and get your fill We've been sniffing that cocaine Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold Lord it's a mighty hard livin' But a damn good feelin' to run these roads It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads [Verse 5] When you lay me in the cold hard clay Won't you sing them hymns while the banjo plays? You can tell them ladies that they ought not frown 'Cause there ain't been nothin' ever held me down [Pre-Chorus] Lawmen, women or a shallow grave Same ol' blues just a different day [Chorus] Get me drinkin' that moonshine Get me higher than the grocery bill Take my troubles to the highwall Throw 'em in the river and get your fill We've been sniffing that cocaine Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold Lord it's a mighty hard livin' But a damn good feelin' to run these roads It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads [Outro] It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads

[Verse 1] Back before these calloused hands and all this work We used to sit up at the flats Actin' like we'd live forever Gettin' high and skippin' class [Verse 2] Yeah, I reckon we were heathens But in her eyes we were saints Now you're callin' all the boys home 'Cause heaven's angels carried her away [Chorus] So I will follow you to Virgie Although it hurts me so To lay to rest this mountain beauty That the Lord's called home I can see her up in glory I can see her through the pines [Verse 3] Back when all us boys were tryin' To make sense of all these strings I can see her in the corner Singin' along to all our crazy dreams [Chorus] So I will follow you to Virgie Although it hurts me so To lay to rest this mountain beauty That the Lord's called home I can see her up in glory I can see her through the pines [Verse 4] I will follow you to Virgie 'Cause that's what us boys are for To help you out when you get weary And you can't go no more [Outro] And can't you see her up there, Cody I can see her through the pines Sayin' "Boys be good"
