If A Heart Breaks Lyrics - Singles - Richard Julian

Just before the old man's eyeballs fixed 

He went pale as an Eskimo 

He said, "Young man, I've been eighty-six 

But young man, before I go 

I'm gonna leave you with a piece of advice 

Don't ever take advice from anyone 

It doesn't matter if you're naughty or nice 

You still get a lump of coal 

And if a heart breaks and nobody's around 

Tell me son, does it make a sound? 

If a heart breaks and nobody's around 

You know, when I was your age there were these neighbors of mine 

They tried to make the Lord save your mind 

Came knocking on my door one morning around six 

I told them where to stick their crucifix 

Come thirty years later, yes son, guess who 

Goes to church on Sunday like his neighbors do? 

I meet some good people there, some jackasses too 

Pretty much like the way it is everywhere 

What I'm getting at here, what I'm trying to say 

Son, I'm concerned that you're losing your way 

You keep down that cocky little road you're on 

You're gonna wind up underground alone 

And if a heart breaks and nobody's around 

Oh, does it make a sound? 

If a heart breaks and nobody's around 

Ooh, if a heart breaks and nobody's around 

Tell me son 

If a heart breaks and nobody's around 

Well, I sack away some money in my bottom drawer 

You can split that with your brother 

Y'all go wanna use that money for whatever you wanna use it for 

Just don't tell your mother
