It Won't Hurt

                                  [Chorus] 

It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool

And 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

If this bottle would just hold out 'til tomorrow

I know that I'd have sorrow on the run



[Chorus]



It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool

And 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 it's gone

Yeah, Lord, somewhere every night the whiskey leaves me

To face this cold, cold world on my own



[Chorus]



It won't hurt when I fall down from this bar stool

And 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
