It Won't Hurt Lyrics

Chorus:
It won't hurt when I fall down from this barstool.
It won't hurt when I stumble in the street
It won't hurt cause this whiskey eases misery
But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me

Today I had another bout with sorrow
You know this time I almost won
and if this bottle would just hold out till tomorrow
I know that I'd have sorrow on the run

It won't hurt when I fall down from this barstool
It won't hurt when I stumble in the street
It won't hurt cause this whiskey eases misery
But even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me

Your memory comes back up with each sunrise
I reach out for the bottle and find its gone
Yeah, lord, somewhere everynight the whiskey leaves me
To face this cold cold world on my own

It won't hurt when I fall down from this barstool
It won't hurt when I stumble in the street
It won't hurt cause this whiskey eases misery
but even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me
even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me

"It won't hurt when I fall down from this barstool It won't hurt when I stumble in the street It won't hurt cause this whiskey eases misery but even whiskey cannot ease your hurting me"

How true, how true.

A song about a man who has lost just about everything and tries to drown his sorrows and not even that helps. A typical countrysong.

It is about the numbing effect Wiskey has on the heart and body, as well as the lack of numbing in has with one particular girl I suppose. It also talks about Sorrow, which ole Dwight talks about throughout his songs.
