Hurtin House versuri

Hurtin House lyrics by Esther Phillips

Verse 1
From my old-now-new address is Rest Awhile Estates
Where love losers go to recuperate
Now, my landlord’s name is Peter Pan, his wife is Lora Lee
They ain’t got a ton of bull out of hate, her name is Misery

Chorus
Now I’m living in a hurting house
I’m living in a hurting house
I’m letting all the pain come out
I’m living in a hurting house

Verse 2
Gotta live right upstairs, cold, dark, and damp
One old iron bed and one old rusty lamp
The magazines for me to read, y’all, are five years outta style
So damn cruel, went through evеry page and cut out every smilе

Chorus
Now I’m living in a hurting house
Livin’ in a hurting house
I’m letting all the pain come out
I’m tired of living in a hurting house

Verse 3
At night they had a meetin’, called to talk it out
All those broken hearts just sittin’ ‘round, hey-hey-hey
And someone would tell a story, and everybody would cry
Then they passed the weepin’ towel, y’all, to wipe your weepin’ eye

Chorus
See, they’re living in a hurting house
Living in a hurting house
Letting more pain come out
Living in a hurting house

Outro

I said I gotta get out of the hurting house, hey-hey, yeah
I’ll run right down a one way street just move on out away from here, oh boy
Ah-ha
I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it
Hey, I can’t stand it
Can’t stand no more cutting deep inside
No, Lord, I can’t stand it
Oh, now, no, no-no, I just can’t
Ooh, it’s too much for me now, yeah, to get all the hurt inside
I’m gonna move on
If I have to hitch-hike on away from here, I gotta go now
Hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey, now, now, hey, y’all, oh yeah
Look out far across the river, just wanna go
Looking out over the river, hey-hey, now I’m looking
