Gonna tell you a story of sufferin’

Gonna sing you the blues

I may not look like a man in pain

But if you could walk a mile in my shoes

No I haven’t lost my job, my house or my car

My woman didn’t leave me with a broken heart

Those people have no idea what true pain is about

You just don’t know how it feels to be a man with gout

We hiked all day

Something just wasn’t right

And then in the tent where I lay

Couldn’t sleep through the night

I said, Kristy there’s something I’ve been keeping back

Something swelling and throbbing down in my sleeping sack

She opened her eyes in fear until I told her the cold plain truth

Then she understood that I got some serious toe pain blues

The slightest movement was pure pain galore

Then she said I’ve never driven a truck or on a 4-wheel road before

She packed the tent and loaded up the gear

And off we went with my foot suspended in the air

If you want to camp out – you just can’t get gout – toe pain

Don’t forget this fact – I have to drive you back – toe pain

she don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie – toe pain

Now I’ve tried cherry juice

Poured myself a nightly glass

It don’t cure the toe pain blues

It just gives me wicked gas

Vitamin C, alfalfa, calcium – I’ve tried them all

Now I can’t eat meat, now I can’t drink alcohol

And being sober – just don’t seem to help the main issue

'Cuz there’s just no gettin’ over – these toe pain blues
