If a Heart Breaks Lyrics

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 goI'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 coalAnd if a heart breaks and nobody's around
Tell me son, does it make a sound?
If a heart breaks and nobody's aroundYou 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 crucifixCome 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 everywhereWhat 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 aloneAnd if a heart breaks and nobody's around

Oh, does it make a sound?
If a heart breaks and nobody's aroundOoh, if a heart breaks and nobody's around
Tell me son
If a heart breaks and nobody's aroundWell, 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
