I ran out on my children   And I ran out on my wife   Gonna run out on you too, baby   I done it all my life   Everybody cried the night I left   Well, almost everybody did   My little boy just hung his head   And I put my arm, put my arm around his little shoulder   And this is what I said:   "Sonny I just want you to hurt like I do   I just want you to hurt like I do   I just want you to hurt like I do   Honest I do, honest I do, honest I do"      If I had one wish   One dream I knew would come true   I'd want to speak to all the people of the world   I'd get up there, I'd get up there on that platform   First I'd sing a song or two you know I would   Then I'll tell you what I'd do   I'd talk to the people and I'd say   "It's a rough rough world, it's a tough tough world   Well, you know   And things don't always, things don't always go the way we plan   But there's one thing, one thing we all have in common   And it's something everyone can understand   All over the world sing along      I just want you to hurt like I do   I just want you to hurt like I do   I just want you to hurt like I do   Honest I do, honest I do, honest I do"
