I grew up fast in a small town Where people go to die Where your papa'll lend you a dollar If you swear to never tell a lie So you say ok He wasn't quick then (?) Down the road you fly Oh how it hurts to know That you made your mama cry Again You fall in love or so you think When you're growin' young Once you're there you bite your lip Soon you're kissin' on Then somethin' changes Could be the weather But now you bite your tongue Oh how it hurts to know That this time you got it wrong Again You find a job you're makin' dough It's easy as pie You later find it's such a drag It's a piece you wish you hadn't tried But you have to stay There are bills to pay So put me back in line Oh how it hurts to know That you're back there chasin' your pride Again When you come home Please be quiet It's been a long hard week Drink your coffee but do not sip People are trying to sleep Well the nights are always so damn quiet How can you feel at ease Oh how it hurts to know That my baby's gettin' tired of me Again
