Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Well my daddy worked in the coal mine Till the company shut it down Then he sat around and drank hisself blind Till we put him back underground Now nothin' grows on this mountain And what's a poor boy to do? Except to wander these hills forgotten With the Oxycontin blues Well I never cared much for whiskey 'Cause it only made daddy mean Wrapped a little bit tight they tell me For the methamphetamine Then my cousin come up from Knoxville And he taught me a thing or two Now I'm headed nowhere but downhill With the Oxycontin blues Got a dollar bill in my pocket Got a half a tank in my truck I'm gonna go and pawn grandma's locket Hell, maybe it'll change my luck Ain't nothin gonna be right no how 'Cause I know I can't ever lose This devil that's draggin' me down And the Oxycontin blues
