Plain As The Pain On My Face - Lyrics - Eddie Rabbitt

Edward Thomas "Eddie" Rabbitt was an American singer-songwriter and musician. His career began as a songwriter in the late 1960s, springboarding to a recording career after composing hits such as "Kentucky Rain" for Elvis Presley in 1970 and "Pure Love" for Ronnie Milsap in 1974. Later in the 1970s, Rabbitt helped to develop the crossover-influenced sound of country music prevalent in the 1980s with such hits as "Suspicions" and "Every Which Way but Loose." His duets "Both to Each Other " and "You and I", with Juice Newton and Crystal Gayle respectively, later appeared on the soap operas Days of Our Lives and All My Children.

The ***-tonk hero Met the ***-tonk girl She took him on a heartbreak ride All around the world So, bartender, don't ask me why I'm sittin' drinkin' in this place It's as plain as the pain on my face She had a set of red lips Burned a hole in my heart She had a way of holdin' me That really tore me apart But, bartender, don't ask me why I'm lookin' like a hopeless case It's as plain as the pain on my face Well, it's as plain as the pain runnin' like rain down my cheek And I cry from the lies I never saw in her eyes when she made love to me So, bartender, don't ask me what I think about the human race It's as plain as the pain on my face Well, it's as plain as the pain runnin' like rain down my cheek And I cry from the lies I never saw in her eyes when she made love to me So, bartender, don't you ask me what I think about the human race Ooh, it's as plain as the pain on my face It's as plain as the pain on my face
