Lyrics
Pour Hank On The Pain
Mike Cullison
It feels like years these last few days
Since my woman walked away
She caught me at my cheatin? game
Now all I can do is pour some Hank on the pain
No honky tonk angel can help my heart
There were too many pieces when I fell apart
I hope Luke the Drifter can explain
Mister won?t you help me pour some Hank on the pain
(chorus)
?Cause I dance with her mem?ry ev?ry night
Wearin? out the jukebox, I?m so lonesome I could cry
It cuts so deep the guilt and the shame
Make mine a double and pour old Hank on the pain
Those lonesome songs they sure ring true
When there?s nothing in the world that a fool can do
I only have myself to blame
And all I can do is pour some Hank on the pain
(chorus)
If she?d take me back I?d wear a ball and chain
But all I can do is pour ol? Hank on the pain
