Achy Breaky Heart Lyrics by Boxcar Willie

Achy Breaky Heart

0

[Verse 1]
Well, you can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I am gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
[Verse 2]
You can tell my arms go on back to the farm
Or you can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more
[Chorus]
But don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
[Verse 3]
You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff who's fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway
[Verse 4]
Or tell your aunt Louise tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not okay
Or you can tell my eye to watch out for my mind
I might be walkin' out on me today
[Chorus]
But don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
Well, don't tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
[Outro]
Call me achy breaky box
