Dwight Yoakam - It Only Hurts When I Cry - Drums Only
"It Only Hurts When I Cry" is a song co-written by American country music artists Dwight Yoakam and Roger Miller, and recorded by Yoakam. It was released in December 1991 as the fourth single from his album If There Was a Way. It peaked at 7 in the United States, and at 4 in Canada. This song was one of the last ones written by Miller before his 1992 death. The chorus section's melody may have been inspired by Wynn Stewart's "That's the Only Way to Cry," a 1967 country chart hit written by Stewart and Cliff Massey.

This video is recorded with a Drumless track that I played on drums. The drums you hear are of the sounds are that I played, not the original drummer. The original drum track played and recorded in the original version was not used in this video. All drum covers are Drumless versions, will be as close to the original as possible. ***

Lyrics:
The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry
You couldn't tell it by the smile
That my recovery took awhile
I worked for days and nights on end
Just to walk and talk again
You can't believe the time it takes
To heal a heart once it breaks
The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count my teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
It only hurts me when I cry
Oh maybe every now and then
I have a small heartache again
You wouldn't know when you look at me
There's tiny scars that you can't see
It was a struggle to survive
I'm probably lucky I'm alive
The only time I feel the pain
Is in the sunshine or the rain
And I don't feel no hurt at all
Unless you count when teardrops fall
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
And it only hurts me when I cry
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
And it only hurts me when I cry
