Hurtin' Inside - Clara McDaniel

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

What has happened to our town? There's people sleepin' on the ground Cold and lost, they fear the night Left alone, they lose the fight Hadn't we better reach For more than just a dime? Shouldn't we try to talk That boy out of his crime? Haven't you had it Knowing nothing's getting solved? Maybe we'd better Better get involved We could stop the hurtin' for awhile We could stop the hurtin' for awhile, whoa If we found a way to reconcile We could stop the hurtin' Families livin' in their cars And kids run numbers out of bars, hey Knowing pride won't pay the bills Men work jobs beneath their skills, yeah Hadn't we better hand out More than just a line? Shouldn't we try to find Solutions with our minds? Haven't you had it, Knowing nothing's getting solved? Maybe we'd better Better get involved We could stop this hurtin' for awhile We could stop this hurtin' for awhile If we found a way to reconcile We could stop the hurtin' We could stop the hurtin', baby We could stop the hurtin' for awhile, whoa We could stop it for awhile (We could stop it for awhile) If we found a way to reconcile (If we found a way to reconcile) We could stop, we could stop We could stop the hurtin' for awhile, whoa We could stop the hurtin' for awhile (Ooh, we could stop) If we found a way to reconcile (If we found a way) We could stop, we could stop We could stop it We could stop it We could stop it We could stop We could stop the hurtin' for awhile (We could stop it) We could stop the hurtin' for awhile (We could stop it) If we found a way to reconcile (We could stop it) We could stop, we could stop We could stop the hurtin' for awhile (We could stop it) We could stop it for awhile (We could stop it) If we found a way to reconcile (We could stop it) We could stop, we could stop

I've spent a lifetime looking for love Just when I find it, it comes undone I've tried so hard to make love happen Like some never-ending pattern I end up on the sad side of the fun But hurting comes easy Hurting comes easy Hurting comes easy For me Well, I've seen people that got it made They've got someone and love looks great But me, I've been to every doctor I've tried it wild and tried it proper I always end up watching love walk away That's okay 'Cause hurting comes easy Hurting comes easy Hurting comes easy For me I've gotten used to getting over And hopefully as I grow older Love won't be so difficult to see But now for me Hurting comes easy Hurting comes easy Hurting comes easy For me Hurting comes easy Hurting comes easy Hurting comes easy For me

Felt this way yesterday Today I keep hurtin', yeah hurtin' Time goes by, right on by, and I I'm still hurtin', yeah hurtin' You walked away, the pain began I knew I'd never love again Oh my heart tore apart And I'm sure hurtin', yeah hurtin' You walked away, the pain begain I knew I'd never love again Seems to me my destiny Is to be just hurtin', yeah hurtin

She's impressed by the little things that I do But when I say that I'll stay, she don't think it's true She doesn't know what she has to offer Underneath her broken heart armor Still scared to love, and that's thanks to you The way she talks, I can tell that she's been though it She looks and love like she's being introduced to it The first man to hold her heart put a bruise to it Yeah So this is for the guy who loved her before me And every lie that you let her believe How could you run from somebody like her?
