Hurtin'

Did you ever have one of those days

When it just rains and it rains?

You mind and your whole back aches

But you get up anyways

You gave up your dreams, you got a boss to please

It makes you wonder if it's worth it

Loosen my chain 'cause even my pain is hurting

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

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

But this old world, it sure rattles 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 hurting

♪

My house ain't worth what I owe

I've been all my life owing that load

And like a sucker I bought what they sold

But down here 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 hurting

So I said, "Lord cant you give an old boy a break

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

But this old world can sure rattle your faith sometimes

Yeah 'cause 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 hurting

♪

I got a loaded forty-five laying on to the table

Next to a bottle of old Black Label

Can't be the only way to ease a man's burden

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

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

But this old world can sure rattle your faith sometimes

Yeah 'cause 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 hurting

Oh I say now even my pain, even my pain

Mmm, said even my pain is hurting, whoa
