Drive-By Truckers - A World Of Hurt Lyrics
Once upon a time, my advice to you would have been go out and find yourself a whoreBut I guess I've grown up, because I don't give that kind of advice anymoreGonna be a world of hurtGonna be a world of hurtGonna be a world of hurtI was 27 when I figured out that blowing my brains out wasn't the answerSo I decided, maybe I should find a way to make this world work out for meAnd my good friend Paul was 83 when he told me; that "To love is to feel pain"And I thought about that then and I've thought about that again and againGonna be a world of hurtGonna be a world of hurtGonna be a world of hurt"To love is to feel pain" there ain't no way around itThe very nature of love is to grieve when it is overThe secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the creditsBetter roll them now before something else goes wrongKnow it's a wonderful world, if you can put aside the sadnessAnd hang on to every ounce of beauty upon youBetter take the time to know it,If you feel anything at allGonna be a world of hurtGonna be a world of hurtGonna be a world of hurtSo if what you have is working for you, or you think that it stands a reasonable chance, and whatever's broken seems fixable and nothing's beyond repairIf you still think about each other and smile before you remember how screwed up it's gotten or maybe still dream of a time less rottenRemember, it ain't too late to take a deep breath and throw yourself into it with everything you've gotIt's great to be aliveGonna be a world of hurtGonna be a world of hurtGonna be a world of hurt
