[Intro] [steady alternating bass-note and chord strumming on acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] [male baritone vocals enter] When I woke up this morning There was a pounding in my head It was first but no more worse than the aching in my chest When I tried to stand, I didn't plan on the stiffness in my knees I guess I spent too much time on them begging you please [Chorus] But I'm hurtin' for certain over you You're to blame for all the pain I've been going through If I don't wake up dead in the morning Lord, I'll be living proof That I'm hurtin' for certain thanks to you [Verse 2] I went to the cabinet to find something I could take Something strong to help me hold on and to medicate A Tylenol, Ibuprofen, or Kaopectate Couple of shots of whiskey to make it through the day [Chorus] 'Cause I'm hurtin' for certain thanks to you You're to blame for all the pain I've been going through If I don't wake up dead in the morning Lord, there'll be living proof That I'm hurtin' for certain thanks to you [Bridge] The aching back, the poundin' head, and the bruises to my pride The only thing that's better now is the pain in my backside [Chorus] But I'm hurtin' for certain over you You're to blame for all the pain I've been going through If I don't wake up dead in the morning Lord, there'll be living proof That I'm hurtin' for certain thanks to you I'm hurtin' for certain thanks to you [guitar final strum and ring out]
