Hurtin' - Cody Johnson

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 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.

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.
