I can’t stand the smell of smoke
But I bought myself a pack
Bummed a light from a stranger
Nearly choked from that first drag
And I hate the taste of whiskey
And this barroom ain’t my style
But I’ll try anything not to hurt for a while
Seems like forever since I looked
Into the eyes of another man
In my lifetime I’ve never known a one-night stand.
Lord knows it’s wrong to let a stranger
Turn out your bedroom light.
But I’ll try anything not to hurt for a while
I’m tired, so tired of crying
Tired of reaching for a memory in the middle of a night
So sick of pain running through my veins overtaking my whole life
I’ll try anything not to hurt for a while
I’ll try anything not to hurt for a while
It ain’t like me to be a cussin’
Getting tore up in this bar
Guess a good ole girl can backslide
Running from a broken heart
I pray the good Lord ain’t a lookin
And taking notes on me tonight
Cause I’ll try anything not to hurt for a while
I’m tired, so tired of crying
Tired of reaching for a memory in the middle of a night
So sick of pain running through my veins overtaking my whole life
I’ll try anything not to hurt for a while
I’m tired, so tired of crying
Tired of reaching for a memory in the middle of a night
So sick of pain running through my veins overtaking my whole life
I’ll try anything not to hurt for a while
I’ll try anything not to hurt for a while
