"Just To Ease The Pain"
(Slim Dossey / Hank Thompson)

To ease the pain that heartaches bring from broken love affairs
To many make the same mistake and try to drown their cares
The liquor flows their money goes and teardrops fall like rain
One thing for sure this is no cure it's just to ease the pain

A crowed place a friendly face of one who wears a smile
The warmth and bliss from someone's kiss will linger for a while
A drink or two with someone new might not be in vain
But this won't heal a hurt that's real it's just to ease the pain

A broken heart will fall apart when left alone to grieve
To ease the pain and hide the shame you'll live in make believe
The tears you'll hide but deep inside the torture will remain
There's no mistake the drink you take it's just to ease the pain

In every life where pain and strife can hold the winning hand
The soul will cry and wonder why the things that fate had planned
The doubts and fears and bitter tears may be an endless chain
But living fast won't hide the past it's just to ease the pain
