Joe Nichols - When I'm Hurtin' lyrics

I like a happy song In loud an’ smoky place Sweet Home Alabama Puts a smile on my face But if you want my opinion I can tell you for certain That I sing a whole lot better When I’m hurtin’ Some nights when I walk out I’m sure the crowd can see I’m just not myself With an up-beat melody Oh, but I can sell it to you And you’ll know that it’s workin’ ‘Cause I sing a whole lot better When I’m hurtin’ I have to fall in love and lose To sing like this for you I’d be out of business If I didn’t have the blues There’s another gla** of heartache Just behind the curtain ‘Cause I sing a whole lot better When I’m hurtin’ I know you like a fast one But I’m not in the mood There’s someone in the crowd tonight With her somebody new ‘Cau’she’s the reason for these sad songs But you’re in luck for certain ‘Cause I sing a whole lot better When I’m hurtin’ I have to fall in love and lose To sing like this for you Wel’ I’d be out of business If I didn’t have the blues There’s another gla** of heartache Just behind the curtain ‘Cause I sing a whole lot better When I’m hurtin’ Yeah, I sing just a whole lot better When I’m hurtin’
