D 
G 
D 
Old man's
work was all he had left
All he owned was bad blood
G 
and sweat and tears
D 
So damn alone God took him home
Had to be the first brick
G 
he'd carved in years
Em 
G 
Just carry on like you want me to do,
Em 
Work hard for my money,
C 
G 
be a good man through and through,
C 
D 
And carry on with these
G 
North Country views.
D 
Ain't no dialing to my name,
G 
And I'll always feel the same,
C 
G 
As I walk in these broken cowboy shoes
D 
Devil take the blame for
G 
the weary and lame
C 
D 
G 
As I carry on the beat of North Country blues
D 
I sad myself, I'm wrong too,
I got busted at the fort
G 
and now I'm sittin' out here
D 
God damn 23 feels too damn bold,
G 
it's hell at 40 or 50 or more I'm told
Em 
My brother's up north,
G 
he been ridin' pens,
Em 
G 
I'm down here with Vance McMahon
Em 
Hell or high water,
C 
G 
got nothing left to lose
C 
D 
G 
Carrying all these small contributors
D 
Ain't a dollar to my name,
G 
and I'll always feel the same
C 
G 
As I walk these broken cowboy shoes
D 
Devil take the blame for
G 
the weary and the lame
C 
D 
As I carry on with thee,
G 
no conscience to lose
D 
I  went to college on a five year plan
Got a four year degree to go
G 
and work with these two hands
D 
Rode down and hard up all the damn time
One of these days
G 
I'm gonna find some luck of mine
Em 
G 
So I'll point this truck back north again
Em 
Head down the highway
G 
straight in the wind
Em 
Run her up to 80
C 
G 
and kick her down in the crews
C 
D 
G 
Carry on these north continent blues
D 
And I'll dial it to my name
G 
and I'll always be the same
C 
G 
As I walk on these broken cowboy shoes
D 
Devil take the blame for
G 
the weary and the lame
C 
D 
As I carry on with these North Country blues
