Ole Joe fell off the roof
it knocked him out and broke his back
Some girl gave him mouth-to-mouth
Joe’s wife didn’t like the looks of thatSo she took his house and pickup truck
and lived high on the hog
When his dog bit his finger off
She gave him the finger and she took the dogThat’s Gotta Hurt
I guarantee
When someone else hurts like hell
Glad it ain’t meThat’s Gotta Hurt
Such misery
What a shame, but all the same
Better him than meThe cops arrested Joe
He fixed his roof with no permit
The judge was Joe’s ex-wife
and you know she did not acquitOle Joe died in prison
But you know he’s heaven bound
They’ll let him out of hell
soon as his paperwork is foundThat’s Gotta Hurt
I guarantee
When someone else hurts like hell
Glad it ain’t meThat’s Gotta Hurt
Such misery
I’m just glad nothing bad’s
ever gonna happen to meLike suffering and sighing
and crying all night long
Growing old and dying
and listenin' to this songThat’s Gotta Hurt
(inst)
That’s Gotta Hurt
Such misery
Hurts so bad, makes me sad
‘Cause you know your pain hurts me
