Plain Ol' Pain

PLAIN OL’ PAIN
(Patrick Jason Matthews/Kris Bergsnes/Jim McCormick)

Ever since you left me, I’ve been in a world of hurt
Ordinary misery, old fashioned hell on earth
Just your average anguish, common as the rain
It ain’t nothing special, it’s just plain ol’ pain

chorus: Plain ol’ pain, simple tears
It ain’t too complicated
It hasn’t changed in years
A heartache’s still a heartache by any other name
It’s just that same ol' same ol' painful
Plain ol’ pain

A cowboy pulls his hat down, a drunkard drinks his wine
A preacher reads a bible, a poet writes a line
Me, I’m filling up this jukebox with a pocket full of change
We all got our way of dealin' with this plain ol’ pain

(Repeat chorus)

A bottle full of whiskey can ease the sting a bit
But those of us who’ve been there know it’s a temporary fix
You’d think someone could cure it, make it go away
After all it’s nothing but plain ol’ pain

(Repeat chorus)

It’s just that same ol' same ol' painful
Plain ol’ pain
