I've Still Got Some Hurtin' Left to Do
George Jones · Greatest Collection [Platinum Disc] [2005]
Tonight I went out with some old friends
We laughed and joked and oh, we downed a few
I was feeling strong, till someone played our song
I still got some hurtin' left to do.
There's a waitress that I like down at the diner
I've even asked her out a time or two
But she says' not until your broken heart has healed
She knows I've still got some hurtin' left to do.
Chorus:
Every time I have a few good happy hours
I start thinkin' I might be over you
There's a knock on my hearts door,
It's your memory back for more
Yes, I've still got some hurtin left to do.
Yes, I've still got some hurtin left to do...
I've Still Got Some Hurtin' Left to Do
