Oxycontin Blues Songtext
von Gutter Swan

Well my daddy worked in a coal mine
′Til the company shut it down
Then he sat around and drank himself blind
'Til we put him back underground
Now nothing grows on this mountain
And what′s a poor boy to do
Except 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 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
