The Boxcars - Raised on Pain lyrics

Artist: The Boxcars

album: Familiar With the Ground


Well my daddy left home when I was three.
Shacked up with some girl I Tennessee.
Since then I've had these doggone blues.
Quit school at thirteen cause I couldn't buy shoes.
If I could find my daddy right now he'd hang.
I'd get revenge cause I was raised on pain.
Mama worked on jobs and I did too.
Spent many a day behind a damned old mule.
I know there ain't no point in me being mean, but I got so sick of eating pinto beans.
I had to bury my mama in the pouring rain.
You can't hurt me none cause I was raised on pain.
Well I bought you diamonds and I bought you pearls.
If I'da had more money I'da bought the world.
I treated you better than I ever ought to.
Now you've gone and found you another fool.
I've nothing to lose I've nothing to gain.
Go ahead and leave, I was raised on pain.
You can't hurt me none I was raised on pain.
