It Just Helps To Keep The Hurt From Hurtin'

Moe Bandy

The barroom atmosphere really brings my heart no cheer 
Watchin' bubbles in my beer don't ease my mind 
It just helps to keep the hurt from hurting 
Like I keep hurting since you're no longer mine. 

The jukebox songs I play don't make heartaches go away 
Or the pretty girls I pay to pass the time 
They just help to kee the hurt from hurting 
Like I keep hurting since you're no longer mine. 

And so if ever you should ask what happened to 
Your old use to be darlin' meanin' me 
And they say that I've become a sort of barroom bum 
Well maybe so but what do they know. 

If just a drink or two cools the hell I'm goin' through 
'Cause I'm still in love with you then please be kind 
It just helps to keep the hurt from hurting 
Like I keep hurting since you're no longer mine.
