Growin' Pain

Somtimes I don’t know
What it is I’m looking for
Whatever it is I want
I seem to need a little bit more
Careful what you pursue
In choosin' it, it chooses you
Cause everything around here is a growin' pain
My old friend 'Lil was on top of the heap
I saw here yesterday
She was working for cheap
She used to have money to burn
Lost it all, live and learn
Everything around here is a growin' pain
Some things you just can’t explain
Look at Cain and Abel
Same blood in their veins
Envy always finds its mark
Hate can see clear in the dark
Everything around here is a growin' pain
Everything around here is a growin' pain
Alright!
Once I had a sweet lady fair
I watched her every mornin' brush her long brown hair
With no warning, with no sign
Death took her, left me behind
Everything around here is a growin' pain
Shaky nerves, baby, got the best of me
I need a shot of somethin,' much stronger than tea
It’s as clear to me as cellophane
All my chances goin' down that drain
Everything around here is a growin' pain
Cause, Everything around here is a growin' pain
Everything around here is a growin' pain
