Lyrics for When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer

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
