[Verse 1]
Every morning when I wake up
Lord, I cry a pool of tears
Seven days now, since you left me
Well, it seems like seven years

[Chorus 1]
Loneliness keeps hanging around my door
An unwanted friend I can't lose
Every day the same dog-gone thing
Twenty-four hour blues

[Verse 2]
Lonely minutes turn into hours
I keep waiting by the telephone
But you don't call me, I guess I'll be
Spending another sleepless night alone

[Chorus 2]
I can't seem to get myself together
Without you it's all bad news
Every day the same dog-gone thing
Twenty-four hour blues

[Chorus 3]
If you don't hurry on back to me
Then I have nothing left to lose
Just these four gray walls
Twenty-four hour blues
[Outro]
Every day the same dog-gone thing
Twenty-four hour blues
