I Can't Cry Back In

Hank Williams Jr. · After You/pride's Not Hard To Swallow [1973]

Well somebody's hurtin' and I know why



And he's a livin' in torment from a love that won't die



He thought it was funny when she walked out on him



Now the love that he laughed out, he can't cry back in



He faces the sunrise and prays for the night



And when the darkness gets around him then he prays for the light



His mixed up emotions just keep choking him



'Cause the love that he laughed out, he can't cry back in



Now you've heard the story of one foolish man



By now you know it's me so give me some pity if you can



I know it's all over but when will it end



This love that I laughed out, I can't cry back in



The love that I laughed out, Lord, I can't cry back in
