Lyrics:

When I was born they should've warned me
And I woulda turned my ass around
Packed it up and hit the country
Never even make a sound
Because time alone won't heal this hurtin'
There's little changes in between
And I'll be damned if I ain't workin'
They can't take that shit from me
Why does it hurt so bad?
I lost the best I never had
People say I should be glad
I lost the best I never had

And I don't need to feel a heartbeat
Got too much trouble on my hands
Them swingin' doors they cut right through me
And I gave my money to the man
And I ain't tryna catch the fever
I swore I stood on greener land
And that devil hold a diamond needle
This room is filling up with sand
Why does it hurt so bad?
I lost the best I never had
People say I should be glad
I lost the best I never had
But in these hard times, no one to hold me
'Cause you had to roll me one more time
And in these low and lonesome valleys
Mountains surround me lord it feels I might be dyin'
Why does it hurt so bad?
I lost the best I never had
People say I should be glad
I lost the best I never had
Why does it hurt so bad?
My heart is broke, I don't stand a chance
People say I should be glad
Why does it hurt so bad?
