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 whats 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

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 Im 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 Grandmas locket

Hell, maybe itll change my luck

Aint nothin gonna be right, know how

Cause I know I cant ever lose

This devil thats draggin me down

And the oxycontin blues
