It Don't Hurt Like It Used To

"It Don't Hurt Like It Used To" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Billy Currington.

"It Don't Hurt Like It Used To" is the only song that Currington co-wrote on his Summer Forever album.

[1] According to Currington, he happened to visit his friends Barlowe and Carter: "Cary and I picked up guitars at the same time and played basically the same chord, and the next thing you know, we were writing the song.

Shy was like, ‘What was that, man?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, it’s just coming out.’ So we wrote ’em down, and then I guess within an hour the song had basically written itself.

According to Currington, the line "But you drug my heart through the Alabama dirt" was inspired by a past relationship.
