The Medicine Will Letra - 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 best they can

And if the devil's in the 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

Now it's all broken dreams and plywood

Up and down these haunted streets

Even the bar where we all used to go

I guess even whiskey can't compete

But I believe way down below us

Deeper than that mine shaft runs

There's a place for those who did this to us

And it's hotter than the sun

Coal under the mountains

And gold in them there pills

If living here don't kill you

The medicine will
