"Pain In My Past" lyrics - THE IRISH ROVERS

You're a rockslide on my highway
You're a mudhole in my yard
You ain't playin' with a full deck
Somewhere you lost some card
Now you're not the first to hurt me
But I sure hope you're the last
'Cuz it's hard to face the future with a pain in my past

[Chorus:]
You're a pain in my past,
You're a thorn in my side
Had to give you California
But you'd not be satisfied
You're a constant irritation, like an itch that I can't scratch
Ole' and ole' you're just a big old pain in my past

You're a turn of wrong direction
The mistake that I had made
It was possession that I wanted
But a-dand I have pain
And my only concellation is that someday it will pass
But it's hell to go on living with a pain in my past

[Chorus:]
You're a pain in my past,
You're a thorn in my side
Had to give you California
But you'd not be satisfied
You're a constant irritation, like an itch that I can't scratch
Ole' and ole' you're just a big old pain in my past
