Aint Hurtin Nobody
Im a walkin down the street like lucky larue
Got my hand in my pocket Im thinkin bout you
I aint hurtin nobody
I aint hurtin no one
Theres three hundred men in the state of tennessee
Theyre waiting to die, they wont never be free
I aint hurtin nobody
I aint hurtin no one
Six million seven hundred thousand and thirty-three lights on
You think someone could take the time to sit down
And listen to the words of my song
At the beach in indiana I was nine years old
Heard little richard singing tutti frutti
From the top of a telephone pole
I wasnt hurtin nobody
I wasnt hurtin no one
Theres roosters laying chickens and chickens layin eggs
Farm machinery eating peoples arms and legs
I wasnt hurtin nobody
I wasnt hurtin no one
Perfectly crafted popular hit songs never use the wrong rhyme
Youd think that waitress could get my order
Right the first time
Shes sitting on the back steps just shucking that corn
That gals been grinning since the day she was born
She aint hurtin nobody
She aint hurtin no one
I used to live in chicago where the cold wind blows
I delivered more junk mail than the junkyard would hold
I wasnt hurtin nobody
I wasnt hurtin no one
You can fool some of the people part of the time
In a rock and roll song
Fifty million elvis presley fans
Cant be all wrong

It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin' (take 2)
I cry myself to sleep each night
Wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
And the pillow where you lay your head
Now holds my empty dreams instead
And it keeps right on a-hurtin'
Since you're gone
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
They say a man ain't supposed to cry
But when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
The pillow where you lay your head
Now holds my empty dreams instead
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone

Your Hurtin Kind Of Love
(ivor raymonde / mike hawker)
I wanted you so
Wanted you to hold me tight
Take my love and treat me right
I needed your love so
But youre just the hurtin kind
Nearly drove me out of my mind
Your hurtin kinda love
Your hurtin kinda love, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It left me crying
Id never been blue
I never had to cry all day
Tryin to wash the hurt away
But then I fell for you
Giving you the love I had
Just to have you treat me so bad
Your hurtin kinda love
Your hurtin kinda love, oh, oh, oh, oh
It left me crying
So, now youre with another love
It just may be your lover
Could be the one to do what you have
Done to me, yeah
I want you to know
Even though you broke my heart
I can make a brand new start
Im so glad to see you go
You will bring me no more pain
I will never cry again
Your hurtin kinda love
Your hurtin kinda love, oh, oh
Its over, baby, yeah
Your hurtin kinda love
Your hurtin kinda love
Come on baby, take this hurt off me, yeah
Come on baby, take this hurt off me, yeah
Come on baby, take this hurt off me

Hurtin Comes Easy
Ive spent a lifetime lookinfor love
Just when I find it, it comes undone
Ive tried so hard to make love happen
Like some never endinpattern
I end up on the sad side of the fun
Hurtincomes easy
Hurtincomes easy
Hurtincomes easy
For me
Well, Ive seen people that got it made
Theyve got someone and love looks great
But me, Ive been to every doctor
Ive tried it wild and tried it proper
And I always end up watchinlove walk away
Thats ok
Chorus
Ive gotten used to getting over
And hopefully as I grow older
Love wont be so difficult to see
But now for me

Make It Easy
Why the eagle flies
When the wind blows in his eyes
And he goes no where just to feel good
You don*t know the reason
Our love is like a season
Breaking down and building up again
Why you hold me up
When I feel like falling down
Is the love you have that makes me feel good
Ahhh
You make it easy
Take it slow
Well, I was hurtin inside and you gave me a second chance
Ahhh
You take it easy
When you let it go
I was hurtin inside
Time rides all alone
When you*re left back on your own
But I know you*re always there to lean on
Look beyond the
And you*ll find my love in check
It*s all the love I have
Love I give to you
Ahhh
You make it easy
Take it slow
Well, I was hurtin inside and you gave me a second chance
Ahhh

And he goes no where just to feel good

When you*re left back on your own
But I know you*re always there to lean on

Breaking down and building up again

Lovin On The Side
Well, I just want to clear the air,
I already know, and darlin I still care,
But were crippled every time I close my eyes.
I know its hard when youre all alone,
And you always come back home
Looks like were hurtin from your lovin on the side
I think Ive probly seen her, believe I know her name,
Darlin does it make you satisfied?
Shes the one whos feeling happy, Im the one who wants to die
I think youve gone just a little too far this time.
So I just want to clear the air
I already know, and darlin I still care,
But were hurtin from your lovin on the side
Im not saying that I approve, or that I can stand it,
But I know Ive got to give us one more try.
I keep prayin you still love me, but soon my prayer will die,
If every time we talk, you hide your eyes.
So I just want to clear the air
I already know, and darlin I still care
But were crippled every time you close your eyes
I know its hare when youre all alone,
And if you really want to come back home,
Stop this hurtin, stop your lovin on the side
Stop this hurtin, stop your lovin on the side.

I Showed Her
She told me I should straighten up my ways
Or she'd be walkin' out
I guess I was just too blind to see
Or maybe just too proud
So I never thought twice
When she loaded up her things and drove away
'Cause I knew she'd be back someday
I knew she'd be back
Took off my work clothes
And left them right there on the floor
'Cause I knew she'd pick 'em up
When she got home like a hundred times before
And just to make it easier for her
I left the light on on the porch
'Cause I knew she'd be back someday
I knew she'd be back
I guess I showed her
How much she had to lose
Showed her, who was really who
I know she's hurtin' now
Looks like I showed her
I must have seen the movie of the month
A dozen times or more
I watched my favorite team play ball
But I never heard a score
'Cause the whole time I was listening
For the moment when she'd walk through the door
'Cause I knew she'd be back someday
I know she'll be back
I guess I showed her
How much she had to lose
Showed her, who was really who
I know she's hurtin' now
Looks like I showed her
If I could I show her how much she had to lose
I'd show her I've been hurtin' too
If I could hold her now
I'd really show her...

Just Playin Possum
(alan jackson/jim mcbride/gary overton)
I parked my car round back
Ive got the shades pulled down
I told everybody including my mama
I was leaving town
But Ive been right here
Since youve been gone
Belly-up at the bottom of a bottle
Listening to george jones
And just playin possum
Laying low
Ive got hundred watts of hurtin
Coming through the speakers of my stereo
Dont want to see nobody
Nowhere I want to go
Im just playin possum
And laying low
Im gonna hide my heart
And be a love recluse
Oh I could cry on my best friends shoulder
But there aint no use
I need an expert on
The pain Im going through
So Ill keep george on the old turntable
til Im over you
And just playin possum
Laying low
Ive got hundred watts of hurtin
Coming through the speakers of my stereo
Dont want to see nobody
Nowhere I want to go
Im just playin possum
And laying low
Hes playin possum
And hes laying low

Overnight Success
If it was in your mind to really cut me down
If it was in your plan to walk me in the ground
You left with him last night then daylight told the rest
And if you planned on hurtin me, youre an overnight success
I couldnt blame someone whod steal your love away
Because I know what Ive lost and all hes gained
Sweetheart last night I know he got the very best
And if you planned on hurtin me, youre an overnight success
Can you handle all youve won from breaking my pride
Will he stay with you and help you spend all the tears Ive cried
Sweetheart I love you so and wish you happiness
And if you planned on hurtin me, youre an overnight success

Between An Old Memory And Me
(Keith Stegall/Charlie Craig)
I was sittin' at a table
In a little club downtown
Playin' songs on the jukebox
And pourin' whiskey down
When I heard a sweet voice sayin'
"Would you like some company?"
And I had to tell her
This is just between an old memory and me
All my friends tell me
That I'm a fool for holding on
I know their trying to help me
But I've been a fool too long
And I don't want to talk about it
So why can't they just let me be?
'Cause this is just between
An old memory and me
And I'm not hurtin' anybody
As far as I can see
I just need to be alone sometimes
While she goes walkin' through my mind
Oh, I'm not hurtin' anybody, yeah
As far as I can see
I just need to be alone sometimes
While she goes walkin' through my mind
And I don't want to talk about it
So why can't everybody see?
This is just between
An old memory and me
Oh, Yeah, Yeah!
This is just between
Her memory and me

We Can Stop The Hurting
What has happened to our town
Theres people sleeping on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, theyll lose the fight
Hadnt we better reach for more than just a dime
Shouldnt we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Havent you had it knowing nothings getting solved
Maybe wed better, better get involved
Chorus:
We could stop the hurtin for awhile
We could stop the hurtin for awhile
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin
Families livin in their cars and kids run numbers out of bars
Knowing pride wont pay the bills, men work jobs beneath their skills
Hadnt we better hand out more than just a line
Shouldnt we try to find solutions with our minds
Havent you had it knowing nothings getting solved
Maybe wed better, better get involved

Yea I Noe U hurt, But So Am I
Yea I noe U hurt, But so am I
Been hurtin for awhile, Been comin up nd down,
been waitin nd hopin, I noe wats right nd U do too,
But U won't do nething, Ma feelinz havent changed,
EVERYTHING i sed is true, Past convos still stand,
but im tryin to get a message out, nd it's obvious U get that.
So do SUMTHIN. Take more initiative.
Show U actualli do care. Don't wait until it's too late,
Cuz time is runnin out. I keep givin chance after chance,
nd keep hurtin myself more nd more, nd it's not like it don't show.
I try to put up a front yeah I do, but deep down its all there.
It's expressed in other forms nd all u do is ignore nd dun even try to talk.
I’m dun sayin “I wont Pressure U”
Cuz that route hasn’t worked for the past 3 yrsz
Yea we both got stuff goin on,
But send me a sign nd let me noe wats guud
Dun wanna sit bacc nd wait if it’s not gonna end up ne where
3 more yrsz is a while, if we juss gonna act like there’s nuttin there
Yea I noe u hurtin nd I am too
But I been tryin to ignore my feelinz
Been tryin to focus on wats in front of me
Nd as much as I say I’m not thinking bout u
I noe damn well nd so do mah sistaz,
That I can’t get u outta my system
If u noe it aint goin no where
Then do sumthin, tell me straight out it aint poppin off
Lemme hurt nd get it over wit
But rite now u sendin me on a whole other roller coaster,
One crazier nd more emotional than the one I’m alreadii on
Long twists nd turns nd all I can do
Is sit bacc nd wait nd see
Damn I been doin that for so long
Let’s take a different approach

Strangers Touch
(john farrar/steve kipner)
Ive been doing some soul searching
Feel guilty as a girl can feel
Ive got no business smiling, beguiling
Im caught up in a triangle
No future in this shape Im in
So what do I find so appealing in stealing
Tell me
How come a strangers touch can thrill me so much
My hearts in jeopardy
Hes overpowering me
Oh whatll I do
I wasnt lookin around
You know Im happy with you
Youre a part of me that I cant replace
But he touched my heart in a new place
He found a space
Tell me
How come a strangers touch can thrill me so much
My hearts in jeopardy
Hes overpowering me
Oh whatll I do
Cant keep on hurtin, hurtin you
Tell me
How come a strangers touch can thrill me so much
My hearts in jeopardy
Hes overpowering me
Oh whatll I do
Hes overpowering me
Oh whatll I do
Cant keep on, cant keep on, cant keep hurting you
Cant keep on, cant keep on, cant keep hurting you

Lucille
In a bar in toledo across from the depot
On a barstool she took off her ring
I thought Id get closer
So I walked on over
I sat down and asked her name
When the drink finally hit her
She said Im no quitter
But I finally quit living on dreams
Im hungry for laughter
And here ever after
Im after whatever the other life brings
In the mirror I saw him
I closely watch him
I thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman
Who sat their beside me
He had a strange look on his face
The big hands are callous
He looked like a mountain
For a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking
His big heart was breaking
He turned to the woman and said
You picked the fine time to leave me, lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
Ive had some bad time
Live thru some sad times
But this time your hurtin wouldnt heal
After he left us, I ordered more whiskey
I thought how he made him look small
From lights of the bar room to a rented hotel room
We walked without talking at all
She was a beauty, but when she came to me
She must have thought I lost my mind
I couldnt hold her, the words that he told her
Kept coming back time after time.
You picked the fine time to leave me, lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
Ive had some bad time
Live thru some sad times
But this time your hurtin wouldnt heal
You picked the fine time to leave me, lucille
Four hungry children and a crop in the field
Ive had some bad time
Live thru some sad times
But this time your hurtin wouldnt heal
