I ran out on my children
|
And I ran out on my wife
|
Gonna run out on you too, baby
|
I done it all my life
|
Everybody cried the night I left
|
Well, almost everybody did
|
My little boy just hung his head
|
And I put my arm, put my arm around his little shoulder
|
And this is what I said:
|
"Sonny I just want you to hurt like I do
|
I just want you to hurt like I do
|
I just want you to hurt like I do
|
Honest I do, honest I do, honest I do"
|
|
If I had one wish
|
One dream I knew would come true
|
I'd want to speak to all the people of the world
|
I'd get up there, I'd get up there on that platform
|
First I'd sing a song or two you know I would
|
Then I'll tell you what I'd do
|
I'd talk to the people and I'd say
|
"It's a rough rough world, it's a tough tough world
|
Well, you know
|
And things don't always, things don't always go the way we plan
|
But there's one thing, one thing we all have in common
|
And it's something everyone can understand
|
All over the world sing along
|
|
I just want you to hurt like I do
|
I just want you to hurt like I do
|
I just want you to hurt like I do
|
Honest I do, honest I do, honest I do"
|
