歌詞: Richard Julian. If A Heart Breaks.

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
