I can't stand the smell of smoke
But I bought myself a pack
Bummed a light from a stranger
Nearly choked from that first drag

And I hate the taste of whiskey
And this barroom ain't my style
But I'll try anything not to hurt for a while

Seems like forever since I looked
Into the eyes of another man
In my lifetime
I've never known a one-night stand

Lord knows it's wrong to let a stranger
Turn out your bedroom light
But I'll try anything not to hurt for a while

I'm tired, so tired of crying
Tired of reaching for a memory
In the middle of a night
So sick of pain running through my veins
Overtaking my whole life
I'll try anything not to hurt for a while
I'll try anything not to hurt for a while

It ain't like me to be a cussin'
Getting tore up in this bar
Guess a good ole girl can backslide
Running from a broken heart

I pray the good Lord ain't a lookin'
And taking notes on me tonight
'Cause I'll try anything not to hurt for a while

I'm tired, so tired of crying
Tired of reaching for a memory
In the middle of a night
So sick of pain running through my veins
Overtaking my whole life
I'll try anything not to hurt for a while

'Cause I'm tired, so tired of crying
Tired of reaching for a memory
In the middle of a night
So sick of pain running through my veins
Overtaking my whole life
I'll try anything not to hurt for a while
I'll try anything not to hurt for a while
