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'
