Oxycontin Blues |
| Well, my daddy worked in the coal mine |
| Til the company shut it down |
| Then he sat around and drank hisself blind |
| Til we put him back underground |
| Now nothing 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 |
| Gonna go and pawn grandma’s locket |
| Hell, maybe it’ll change my luck |
| Ain’t nothing gonna be right no how |
| 'Cause I know I can’t ever lose |
| This devil that’s dragging me down |
| And the oxycontin blues |
