Good Ole Hurtin Song by The Marshall Tucker Band Lyrics

This 'ole beer gut I got don't get no smaller
If I thought it'd do any good I'd go ahead and call her
I've been drinkin' up my pain since she's been gone, yeah
For every fool there's a good boss too
And the same 'ole sad, sad song

Yeah, the beer would go a lot farther with a good 'ole hurtin' song
I drink a few with a song or two and it never takes me long
And as long as I got the money I'll stay where I belong
Yeah, the beer would go a lot farther with a good 'ole hurtin' song

My friends keep tellin' me, boy, you oughta quit it
But they ain't the ones that have to drink to forget it
And forgettin' don't come easy when you're sober and all alone
So I pop my tops and play the jukebox all the pain is gone

Yeah, the beer would go a lot farther with a good 'ole hurtin' song
I drink a few with a song or two and it never takes me long
And as long as I got the money I'll stay where I belong
Yeah, the beer would go a lot farther with a good 'ole hurtin' song
Yeah, the beer would go a lot farther with a good 'ole hurtin' song
