I work myself to the bone, tired as a man can get It's the only way that I know that might help me to forget I lay me down and I pray my soul to keep Now it's two a.m. and I should be sleeping like a log But I can't blame the pounding rain or the neighbors barking dogs What you did to me, well this heartache never sleeps Yeah, twenty-four hours of every day I can feel it down in my chest From the moment you walked away, well I ain't got no rest It won't let me be, well this heartache never sleeps Like a ghost that haunts me down at the end of my bed Your memory, it haunts me and it won't stay out of my head Until you come back, it ain't never gonna leave So I might as well get out of this bed and put the coffee on Girl, you know I'm not alone at the breaking of the dawn Just like me, this heartache never sleeps Yeah, twenty-four hours of every day I can feel it down in my chest From the moment you walked away, well I ain't got no rest It won't let me be, well this heartache never sleeps It won't let me be, well this heartache never sleeps It won't let me be It won't let me be, well this heartache never sleeps It won't let me be
