Oxycontin Blues lyrics
Well, my daddy worked in the coal mine
Till the company shut it down
Then he sat around and drank his self blind
Till we put him back underground
Now nothin' grows on this mountain
And what's a poor boy to do?
â€~Cept to wander these hills forgotten
With the oxycontin blues
Well, I never cared much for whiskey
â€~Cause it only made Daddy mean
Wrapped a little bit tight, they tell me
For the methamphetamine
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
Gonna go and pawn Grandma's locket
Hell, maybe it'll change my luck
Ain't nothin' gonna be right, know how
â€~Cause I know I can't ever lose
This devil that's draggin' me down
And the oxycontin blues
Well, my daddy worked in the coal mine
Till the company shut it down
Then he sat around and drank his self blind
Part of these releases
