Lyrics Ronnie Milsap – Back To The Grindstone

I always wanted an occupation
Something to do that I enjoyed
I always has this fascination
With music as a boy.

And so I listened
To radio and records
Something they said
And something that they had to play.

And I can hear and feel
Their heart and soul emotion
In the music I make today
I’m talking about music, music.

Got to keep these wheels turning
Just can’t let ’em stop
I got to give it all I got
Got to keep this fire burning.

You see it sure takes blood and sweat
I play one turn around and get
Back to the grindstone
Back to the grindstone.

I keep my feet on the ground
And my head out of the clouds
And my back to the grindstone
I always wanted an education
And on the road I get one every day
That’s where I learn about fan appreciation.

They come to hear and I come to play
But I can’t offer any solution
Something to hear or something to say
I just want to make a contribution.

With the music I play today
I’m talking about music, music
Got to keep these wheels turning
Just can’t let ’em stop
Got to keep this fire burning.

You see it sure takes blood and sweat
I play one, turn around and get
Back to the grindstone
Back to the grindstone.

I keep my feet on the ground
And my head out of the clouds
And my back to the grindstone…
