(It keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone)
I cry myself to sleep each night wishing I could hold you tight
Life seems so empty since you went away
The pillow where you lay your head now holds my lonely tears instead
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone
It keeps right on a hurtin' every minute of the day
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely

And I can't help it I don't think I can go on
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone

They say a man should never cry but when I see you passing by
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears
You broke my heart and set me free but you forgot your memories
And it keeps right on a hurtin' since you've gone
It keeps right on a hurtin'...
