The hurt feels so good now I'm no longer alone. The future I'd see now I thought was all gone. Got over the heartache thought I never would. Got a new love beside me now the hurt feels so good.
Walking in my shabby coat and boy it sure is cold. Trying to get a hang-out here on Hungry Row. I'll wash your dishes I'll chop your wood. For bite I'll scrub your clothes.
Oh the rat race the rat race living life at a terrible pace. Doggie dog so I take my place high on this human rat race. . In old days I recall the door was opened to a friend.
Saw you there on the barstool as I walked in. And the look we gave each other said we both need a friend. Is this the first time you've come here in all the nights you've been alone.
Your house of sand it won't stand very long. There's no foundation there to build lovin' on. And I stood just about all I can stand. And I can't live in your lonely house of sand.
I wandered from your arms enchanted by another's charms. But now too late I see that you're the one I need. Here I am again on my knees again. Begging please again here I am.
Heavenly hurt that's what I feel each time you touch me. Heavenly hurt it's worth it all to be with you. . It's heaven just to have your tender body. Soft and warm and cuddle close to mine.
(For two days). She is an angel. (The next day). Heaven only knows. . (She'd find out). And I'm happy until away she goes. (But she's changing). Like the weather.
Heart we just got to get together. For my own peace of mind I've got to know. You'll be only one who really knows the answers. You know you love her but should we keep her or let her go.
Oh there's a great big jealous man looking for me. And he's got blood in his eyes it's plain to see. Every time he mention my name is but a curse. Yeah he's really out to get me but I know he's got to catch me first.
I walked into country music's Hall of Fame. An old guitar hung on the wall that wore Hank Williams' name. As I stood and wondered what a sight to see.
I'll let you go on one condition though. That the one you love will face me like a man. Go tell him this it's for your happiness. Tell him to run or get a gun and make a stand.
I'd be happy to humiliate myself. I'd be happy to bend over just to be somebody. Be somebody. Be somebody. I'd do anything for ten seconds of fame. I'd be happy to bend over just to be somebody.
Constant ringing inside me ears. Little demons inside my head. Static caught between my teeth. Outta focus, my thoughts in shreds. I don't know what to say to you.
That junkie logic is bound to fail. We`ve heard it al before. You defend yourself with tooth and nail. But never fight the downward spiral war. . Here we go again.
Fill my empty soul. Take away the pain. or. Suck out the last drop. And drown it in the rain. . I can not feel the way you feel. I can not love the way you love.
They never tell you face to face. They are the one and only race. They always smile and are polite. They go through life in black and white (Hey!). . They close their eyes and all is bliss.
"Oh, oh oh ohhh*. Ohh ohh oh.. Oh oh oh ohhh.. Ohh ohh oh.". Well it's about time that we made a stand. And started playing together in our own band. And it's about time that we made a promise.
