Painkiller

Six strings, whiskey and weed
They're the only painkillers a man needs
A woman's touch, a whisper in the streets
That could get a man up from his knees
Cup of coffee in the morning by a logfire
Stacking sticks like his building an empire
Oh, his love is free, his love is wild
Throwing hammers down and hanging 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 trying to leave it all behind
But we all need a painkiller sometimes
Six strings, whiskey and weed
It'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'll come on back to me
That's the 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 trying to keep yourself in time
But we all need a painkiller sometimes
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
We all need a painkiller sometimes
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
We all need a painkiller sometimes
