Play Hurt
|
|
I was sitting on a bench with my ankle tapped up
|
Watching our team getting beat like a drum by a private school
|
They were giving high fives and acting cool
|
Tommy fouled out and the coach looked around
|
Said, 22 it looks like it's down to you
|
You're back in, do you think you can go again
|
In the back of my mind I saw an old sign hanging up in the junior high gym
|
Said, Never Give Up Cause Winners Never Quit And Quitters Never Win
|
|
Sometimes you gotta suck it up
|
And go bite down on the bullet
|
Don't let nobody know
|
Wrap it up, walk it off
|
Tough it out, dust off the dirt
|
Sometimes you gotta play hurt
|
|
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
|
|
I called my folks and told em she was the one
|
All they could say was, we're happy for you, son
|
It's about time, you left your rowdy ways behind
|
She figured out she was destined for some other place
|
And a little bit more than me I guess
|
I got the ring back, UPS
|
For a while I thought I'd never smile like she made me smile again
|
Now I realized you can't sit around and wait for your life to mend
|
|
Sometimes you gotta suck it up
|
And go bite down on the bullet
|
Don't let nobody know
|
Wrap it up, walk it off
|
Tough it out, dust off the dirt
|
Sometimes you gotta play hurt
|
|
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
|
|
I know you're feeling all torn down
|
Life's been tough and you've hit rock bottom
|
Ain't no body gonna do it for you
|
You gotta get up (gotta get up)
|
Try again (try again)
|
When the going gets tough you gotta jump back in
|
|
Sometimes you gotta suck it up
|
And go bite down on the bullet
|
Don't let nobody know
|
Wrap it up, walk it off
|
Tough it out, dust off the dirt
|
Sometimes you gotta play hurt
|
|
Play hurt, play hurt
|
|
Wrap it up, walk off
|
Tough it out, dust off the dirt
|
|
Sometimes you gotta play hurt
