The Medicine Will Brad Paisley

They sell their lies by the bottle
Without an ounce of shame
A promise on a slip of paper
Guaranteed to dull the pain

We dug that mine a mile below us
And built up this little town
Oh and we're still digging holes
But these are six feet down

There's coal under the mountains
And gold in them there pills
If living here don't kill you
The medicine will

Well these are good God-fearing people
Just doing the bеst they can
And if the devil's in thе details
Then hell's in milligrams

For every family visitation
Sons and daughters gone too soon
The drugstore and the undertaker
The only businesses that boom

There's coal under the mountains
And gold in them there pills
If living here don't kill you
The medicine will
