Lyrics for It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'

I cry myself to sleep each night Wishing I could hold you tight Life seems so empty since you went away And the pillow where you lay your head Now holds my empty dreams instead And it keeps right on a-hurtin' Since you're 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're gone They say a man ain't supposed to cry But when I see you passing by My heart breaks down and cries a million tears The pillow where you lay your head Now holds my empty dreams instead And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're 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're gone Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
