Hurtin’ House Lyrics[Verse 1]
From my old now new address is Rest A While Estates
Where love losers go to recuperate
Now, my landlord's name is Peter Pan, his wife is Laura Lee
They ain't got a ton of bull out of hate, her name is Misery
[Chorus]
Now I'm livin' in a hurtin' house
I'm livin' in a hurtin' house
I'm lettin' all the pain come out
I'm livin' in a hurtin' house
[Verse 2]
Gotta live right upstairs, cold, dark, and damp
One old iron bed and one old rusty lamp
The magazines for me to read, y'all, are five years out of style
So damn cool, went through every pagе and cut out every smile
[Chorus]
Now I'm livin' in a hurtin' housе
Livin' in a hurtin' house
I'm lettin' all the pain come out
I'm tired of livin' in a hurtin' house
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
At night they had a meeting, called to talk it out
All those broken hearts just sitting around, hey, hey, hey
And someone would tell a story, and everybody would cry
Then they passed the weeping towel, y'all, to wipe your weeping eye
[Chorus]
See, they're livin' in a hurtin' house
Livin' in a hurtin' house
Lettin' more pain come out
Livin' in a hurtin' house
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Oh, I said I gotta get out
I said I gotta get out of the hurtin' house, hey, hey, yeah
I'll run right down a one-way street just move on out away from here, oh boy
Uh-huh
I can't stand it, I can't stand it
Hey, I can't stand it
Can't stand no more cuttin' deep inside
No, Lord, I can't stand it
Oh, now, no, no no, I just can't
Ooh, it's too much for me now, yeah, to get all the hurt inside
I'm gonna move on
If I have to hitchhike on away from here, I gotta go now
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, now, now, hey, y'all, ah yeah
Look out far across the river, just wanna go
Lookin' out over the river, hey, hey, now I'm lookin'
