"Hurtin' Songs" lyrics

"Hurtin' Songs"

It was a gettin' lit dance floor Friday night
I was sippin' on a whiskey, yeah, feelin' alright
When the cowboy right beside me said am I the only one
Who came in here tonight to get over someone?

I miss those hurtin' songs, somebody done somebody wrong
She's gone, but you can still lean on
She gone
A little cheatin' heart, drinkin' doubles at the bar
Somehow they make you feel better when you're fallin' apart
I miss those hurtin' songs, whoa

Well, I hate to tell you, but
There ain't a lot of George Jones in the bar these days
'Cause people wanna party, and that's okay
Hey
But every now and then in a crowded honky-tonk
A sad one comes on, and we're all singin' along

I miss those hurtin' songs, somebody done somebody wrong
She's gone, but you can still lean on
She gone
A little cheatin' heart, drinkin' doubles at the bar
Somehow they make you feel better when you're fallin' apart
I miss those hurtin' songs, yeah
Ah, play me some steel guitar

I saw him walk up to the band, drop a twenty in the jar
Heard him say, "Won'tcha play one for a broken heart?"
I miss those hurtin' songs, yeah, I do

Yeah, I miss those hurtin' songs, somebody done somebody wrong
She's gone, but you can still lean on
She gone
A little cheatin' heart, drinkin' doubles at the bar
Somehow they make you feel better when you're fallin' apart
I miss those hurtin' songs

Yeah, I miss those hurtin' songs, whoa
I miss those hurtin' songs
