"Good Hurt" lyrics

When I hear the rollin' train beat
To 'On The Road Again'
I picture my daddy like he was
Back when I was ten
Sittin' across that Waffle House booth
Sippin' his coffee, reading the news
Doing Willie even better than Willie could do
I get choked up

That's a good hurt
Oh, that's a sweet pain
When a memory floods your soul
And makes your eyes rain
When you just can't help but smile
While your heart gently breaks
There's no feelin' on this Earth
Like a good hurt

Can't drive past that apartment
Without rollin' back in time
Pickin' her up to carry her over the threshold in my mind
Livin' on adrenaline and minimum wage
Killin' ramen noodles and Natty by the case
Namin' all the babies we hadn't even made
I miss those days

That's a good hurt
Oh, that's a sweet pain
When a memory floods your soul
And makes your eyes rain
When you just can't help but smile
While your heart gently breaks
There's no feelin' on this Earth
Like a good hurt
A good hurt

You see that pretty little barefoot girl
Behind that bashful smile
Droppin' handfuls of white rose petals
Bouncin' down that crimson aisle
Feels like she was born just yesterday
I bet you that's what I'm gonna say
When she's a bride, I got to give away
It's gonna tear me up

But that'll be a good hurt
Yeah, that'll be a good hurt

That's a good hurt
Oh, that's a sweet pain
When a memory floods your soul
And makes your eyes rain
When you just can't help but smile
While your heart gently breaks
There's no feelin' on this Earth
Like a good hurt

Oh, a good hurt
A good hurt
