It Just Helps To Keep The Hurt From Hurtin'

The barroom atmosphere really brings my heart no cheer

Watchin' bubbles in my beer don't ease my mind

It just helps to keep the hurt from hurting

Like I keep hurting since you're no longer mine.

The jukebox songs I play don't make heartaches go away

Or the pretty girls I pay to pass the time

They just help to kee the hurt from hurting

Like I keep hurting since you're no longer mine.

And so if ever you should ask what happened to

Your old use to be darlin' meanin' me

And they say that I've become a sort of barroom bum

Well maybe so but what do they know.

If just a drink or two cools the hell I'm goin' through

'Cause I'm still in love with you then please be kind

It just helps to keep the hurt from hurting

Like I keep hurting since you're no longer mine.
