Hurtin'

[Verse 1]

Did you ever have one of those days

When it just rains and it rains

Your mind and your whole back aches

But you get up anyway

You gave up your dreams

You've got a boss to please

It makes you wonder if it's worth it

Loosen my chain

'Cause even my pain is hurtin'

[Chorus]

Well I said, "Lord, won't you give an 'ol boy a break

Said you'd never give me more than I could take."

Well this old world will sure rattle your faith sometimes

Well you try and you try and you keep on trying

Happy's for sale, but you can't buy it

How 'bout a little something to ease a man's burden

'Cause even my pain is hurtin'

[Verse 2]

My house ain't worth what I owe

I've been all my life hoeing that row

And like a sucker I bought what they sold

But that there in the ground ain't gold

Yeah, I've been a caged bird singing

Waiting on freedom

Feeling like my prayers ain't working

Go on and loosen my chain

'Cause even my pain is hurtin'

[Chorus]

So I said, "Lord, won't you give an 'ol boy a break

Said you'd never give me more than I could take."

Well this old world can sure rattle your faith sometimes

Well you try and you try and you keep on trying

Happy's for sale, but you can't buy it

How 'bout a little something to ease a man's burden

Cause even my pain is hurtin'

[Bridge]

I've got a loaded .45

Laying on the table

Next to a bottle of 'ol black label

Can't be the only way

To ease a man's burden

[Chorus]

So I said, "Lord, can't you give an 'ol boy a break

You said you won't give me more than I could take."

Well this old world can sure rattle your faith sometimes

Yeah, cause I try and I try and I keep on trying

Happy's for sale, but I just can't buy it

How 'bout a little something to ease a man's burden

'Cause even my pain is hurtin'

[Outro]

I said now even my pain

Even my pain

Said even my pain is hurtin'
