Play Hurt Lyrics - I Loved Her First - Heartland

I was sitting on a bench with my ankle taped up 

Watching our team getting beat like a drum by a rival school 

They were giving high fives and acting cool 

Tommy fouled out and the coach looked around 

Said, 22, it looks like it's down to you 

Going back in, do you think you can go again? 

In the back of my mind, I saw an old sign 

Hanging up in the junior high gym 

Said, 'Never give up 'cause winners never quit 

And quitters never win' 

Sometimes you gotta suck it up 

And go bite down on the bullet 

Don't let nobody know 

Wrap it up, walk it off 

Tough it out, dust off the dirt 

Sometimes you gotta play hurt 

I called my folks and told 'em she was the one 

All they could say was, We're happy for you, son 

It's about time, you left your rowdy ways behind 

She figured out she was destined 

For some other place 

And a little bit more than me I guess 

I got the ring back, UPS 

For a while I thought I'd never smile 

Like she made me smile again 

Now I realized you can't sit around 

And wait for your life to mend 

Sometimes you gotta suck it up 

And go bite down on the bullet 

Don't let nobody know 

Wrap it up, walk it off 

Tough it out, dust off the dirt 

Sometimes you gotta play hurt 

I know you're feeling all torn down 

Life's been tough and you've hit rock bottom 

Ain't nobody gonna do it for you 

You gotta get up, try again 

When the going gets tough 

You gotta jump back in 

Sometimes you gotta suck it up 

And go bite down on the bullet 

Don't let nobody know 

Wrap it up, walk it off 

Tough it out, dust off the dirt 

Sometimes you gotta play hurt 

Play hurt, play hurt 

Wrap it up, walk off 

Tough it out, dust off the dirt 

Sometimes you gotta play hurt
