He had two dollar bills and some prescription pills
He wanted cheaper thrills so he picked up smoking
True love 'til he heard that smoking kills
He wanted safer thrills so he picked up drinking
Now everything hurts a little less now
A little less now
Everything hurts a little less
He met a girl at the bar
She was a Vegas star
They hopped into his car
Straight to the drive through chapel
The best mistake that he would never make
They put their dreams at the stake
Thus began his family
Now everything hurts a little less now
A little less now
Everything hurts a little less now
A little less now
Everything hurts
In 2005 he lost the love of his life
His beloved wife 'cause she picked up smoking
You should've heard the way she used to sing
And now I see what sets me free
She was what I could never be
It's only me, my smokes and I
It's only me, my smokes and I
Now everything hurts a little more now
A little more now
Everything hurts a little more now
A little more now
Everything hurts a little less
