When my heart starts to beat like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears
Oh when my heart starts to beat like a hammer
And my eyes get full of tears
You know you've only been gone 24 hours baby
And baby it seems like a million years
Now if i ever mistreated you baby
You know i didn't mean no harm
Oh if i ever mistreated you baby
God knows i didn't mean no harm
You know i'm just a little country boy baby
And i was raised right down on the cotton farm
Oh you give me so much trouble baby
Baby i don't know what to do
Oh you give me so much trouble baby
Baby i don't know i don't know what to do
I ain't got nothing i ain't got nothing now baby
Baby it's all over and it's all on account of you
