I can't stand the smell of smoke
But I bought myself a pack
Borowed a light from a stranger
Nearly choked on that first drag
And I hate the taste of whiskey
And this barroom ain't my style
But I'll try anything not to hurt for a while.
Seems like forever since I looked
Into the eyes of another man
In my lifetime I've never known a one night stand
Lord knows it's wrong to let a stranger turn out your bedroom light
But I'll try anything not to hurt for awhile
I'm tired, so tired of cryin'
Tired of reachin' for a memory in the middle of the night
So sick of pain runnin' through my veins
Overtakin' my whole life
I'll try anything not to hurt for a while.
I'll try anything not to hurt for a while
It ain't like me to be a cussin'
Gettin tore up in this bar
Guess a good ole girl can backslap
runin' from a broken heart
I pray the good lord ain't a lookin
takin' notes on me tonight
'Cause I'll try anything not to hurt for a while
Chorus x2
