"Painkiller" lyrics

"Painkiller"

Six strings, whiskey and weed
They're the only painkillers a man needs
A woman's touch, a whisper in the sheets
That could get a man up from his knees

A cup of coffee in the morning by a log fire
Stackin' sticks like he's building an empire
Oh, his love is free, his love is wild
Throwin' hammers down and hangin' tiles
Makes me high and cools my heat
He's the only painkiller I need

And I know this world can be so cold
And you ain't had it easy on your soul
I know you're tryna leave it all behind
But we all need a painkiller sometimes

Six strings, whiskey and weed
That's all it takes to get a man some peace
Never talk, 'cause talking makes it bleed
Fold it up like the laundry

A cup of coffee in the morning by a log fire
Grit your teeth, suck it up like a vampire
Put on a shirt, put on a smile
Tough like a man, soft like a child
Say you're coming back to me
That's the only painkiller I need

And I know this world can be so cold
And you ain't had it easy on your soul
I know you're tryna keep yourself in line
But we all need a painkiller sometimes

We all need a painkiller sometimes
We all need a painkiller sometimes
