Lyrics
Well my daddy worked in the coal mine
Till the company shut it down
Then he sat around and drank himself blind
Till we put him back underground
Now nothing grows on this mountain
And what's a poor boy to do
'Cept to wander these hills forgotten
With the Oxycontin blues
Well I never cared much for whiskey
'Cause it only made daddy mean
Wrath a little bit tightly to me
For the meth amphetamine
Then my cousin come up from Knoxville
And it 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
