That Damn Toe

Lyrics

Verse 1
I hit that chair in the dark
Lord, it bit me clean
I saw stars in the hallway
Fell to my left knee
Now I’m breathin’ through my teeth
Holdin’ on to the wall
That little bone got a plan
To humble me after all

Pre-Chorus
I tried to walk it off
But the hurt stayed mean
My whole foot sang one note
Like a broken machine

Chorus
That damn toe
That damn toe
Got me talkin’ to the floor
That damn toe
That damn toe
I can’t take it anymore
DAMN, that damn toe

Verse 2
I took off both my boots
Like they done me wrong
Sock turned red at the edges
And the minute felt long
My baby laughed from the doorway
Said, “Boy, you sure make noise”
I said, “You stub yours this hard
And you’ll lose your voice”

Pre-Chorus
I’m limpin’ round the kitchen
Like I got no pride
Every step is a thunderclap
Right down the side

Chorus
That damn toe
That damn toe
Got me talkin’ to the floor
That damn toe
That damn toe
I can’t take it anymore
DAMN, that damn toe

Bridge
Ain’t no prayer for the toe
When the whole room spins
I swear I heard it crack
Then it did it again
If pain had a last name
It’d be spelled in stone
I’d shake your hand, misery
But I can’t stand on my own

Guitar Solo

Final Chorus
That damn toe
That damn toe
Got me talkin’ to the floor
That damn toe
That damn toe
I can’t take it anymore
DAMN, that damn toe
