No Pain, No Gain, So Today Better Be Awesome!

Verse 1 Woke up heavy this mornin’, body achin’ like a worn‑out drum. Yeah, I woke up heavy this mornin’, body achin’ like a worn‑out drum. If the world’s gonna charge me this much in pain, then today better pay me back somethin’ before it’s done. Verse 2 Shufflin’ to the kitchen doorway, tryin’ to find where I left my mind. Yeah, shufflin’ to the kitchen doorway, hopin’ clarity ain’t far behind. But the fog keeps hummin’ its low sad tune, like it’s sayin’, “You’re runnin’ late, but time ain’t bein’ kind.” Chorus No pain, no gain—well, that’s what somebody said. But I’m payin’ interest on this hurt, and I ain’t seen the gain yet. So listen up, universe, I ain’t askin’ for much— just a spark, just a break, just a moment that ain’t drenched in regret. Verse 3 Got a coffee in my right hand, got the tremble in my left. Yeah, coffee in my right hand, pain hummin’ in my chest. But I’m sittin’ here breathin’, still showin’ up for the day— and that’s more than most folks guess. Bridge Guitar’s cryin’ in the corner, bendin’ notes like it knows my name. Yeah, that guitar’s cryin’ in the corner, bendin’ notes like it knows my name. If the blues can turn hurt into music, maybe I can turn this pain into flame. Final Chorus No pain, no gain—so today better be awesome, hear me clear. If I’m draggin’ this body through fire, I want somethin’ good to appear. Let the sky crack open with mercy, or at least let the blues keep me steady right here.
