Lyrics
Did you ever have one of those days
When it just rains and it rains?
You mind and your whole back aches
But you get up anyways
You gave up your dreams, you got a boss to please
It makes you wonder if it's worth it
Loosen my chain 'cause even my pain is hurting
I said, "Lord won't you give an old boy a break
You said you wouldn't give me more than I could take"
But this old world, it sure rattles your faith sometimes
Well you try and you try and you keep on trying
Happy's for sale but you can't buy it
How 'bout a little something to ease a man's burden?
'Cause even my pain is hurting
My house ain't worth what I owe
I've been all my life owing that load
And like a sucker I bought what they sold
But down here in the ground ain't gold
Yeah I've been a caged bird singing
Waiting on freedom, feeling like my prayers ain't working
Go on and loosen my chain 'cause even my pain is hurting
So I said, "Lord cant you give an old boy a break
You said you wouldn't give me more than I could take"
But this old world can sure rattle your faith sometimes
Yeah 'cause you try and you try and you keep on trying
Happy's for sale but you can't buy it
How 'bout a little something to ease a man's burden?
'Cause even my pain is hurting
I got a loaded forty-five laying on to the table
Next to a bottle of old Black Label
Can't be the only way to ease a man's burden
So I said, "Lord won't you give an old boy a break
You said you wouldn't give me more than I could take"
But this old world can sure rattle your faith sometimes
Yeah 'cause you try and you try and you keep on trying
Happy's for sale but you can't buy it
How 'bout a little something to ease a man's burden?
'Cause even my pain is hurting
Oh I say now even my pain, even my pain
Mmm, said even my pain is hurting, whoa
