painkiller

Nina Nesbitt

Six strings, whiskey and weed
They re the only painkillers a man needs
A woman s touch, a whisper in the sheets
That could get a man up from his knees

A cup of coffee in the morning by a log fire
Stackin sticks like he s building an empire
Oh, his love is free, his love is wild
Throwin hammers down and hangin tiles
Makes me high and cools my heat
He s the only painkiller I need

And I know this world can be so cold
And you ain t had it easy on your soul
I know you re tryna leave it all behind
But we all need a painkiller sometimes

Six strings, whiskey and weed
That s all it takes to get a man some peace
Never talk, caus? talking makes it bleed
Fold it up like the laundry

A cup of coffee in th? morning by a log fire
Grit your teeth, suck it up like a vampire
Put on a shirt, put on a smile
Tough like a man, soft like a child
Say you re coming back to me
That s the only painkiller I need

And I know this world can be so cold
And you ain t had it easy on your soul
I know you re tryna keep yourself in line
But we all need a painkiller sometimes

We all need a painkiller sometimes
We all need a painkiller sometimes
