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"
