Well, it really tears me up when I hear a hurtin' songAnd I'm someone who likes a good cold beerBaby's gone and after hurtin' all day longMy heart feels the need to come in hereCause I need soft lights and hard country musicThose cheatin' songs assure me that early then to readCause I need soft lights and hard country musicA steel guitar and a ***-lit bar knows exactly how I feelWell, the tempo's up, the lights are lowAnd I'm a-gettin' down with that womanAnd I'm a-gettin' down with that womanThat I met in here last nightShe's hurtin' like I am and we don't give a darnSo play that country music and keep it tightCause I need soft lights and hard country musicThose cheatin' songs assure me that early then to readCause I need soft lights and hard country musicThose cheatin' songs assure me that early then to readA steel guitar and a ***-lit bar knows exactly how I feelThose cheatin' songs assure me that early then to readLittle boy knows exactly how I feel
