Where Does It Hurt

(Brett Warren/Brad Warren/Tom Douglas)

Every Saturday night

I watched

Roy Rogers on

TV Back when everything was black and white

And easy to see

But now everything has changed

Except my memory

Of my daddy’s voice when

I’d fall And skin my knee

Tell me where does it hurt

Where is the pain

You know if

I could I’d make it go away

It’s not the end of the world

Not heaven on earth

Did I make it better

Where does it hurt

It’s thirty years later

And my little girl she’s not quiet grown

In tears she calls me up one night

Says I’m gonna have a child of my own

And the boy that

I love Daddy he’s gone away

And of the million things that ran through my mind

Only one I can say

Tell me where does it hurt

Where is the pain

You know if

I could I’d make it go away

It’s not the end of the world

Not heaven on earth

Can I make it better

Where does it hurt

My head’s turnin’ gray

And I walk really slow

And it’s harder to see, and get by on my own

And I wonder if anything

I’ve said has ever meant anything

And my daugther says those healing words to me

Tell me where does it hurt

Where is the pain

You know if

I could I’d make it go away

It’s not the end of the world

Not heaven on earth

Can I make it better

Oh, where does it hurt

It’s not the end of the world

Can I make it better

Where does it hurt
