Achy Breaky Heart Lyrics
You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone
You can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
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
You can tell your Ma I moved to Arkansas
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway
Or tell your Aunt Louise, tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not O.K.
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today
(Repeat chorus to end)
You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone
You can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
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
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
You can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway
Myself already knows I'm not O.K.
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today

Achy Breaky Heart is an awesome song. Billy Ray Cyrus is an awesome singer.
Well, back in my neck o' the woods, this is courtin' music. There is nothing better than firing up the old pickup truck and driving to the sticks with some BRC blaring out the Audiovox. I mean hell.. the first time I picked up cousin Earline, I do believe it was love at first sight. We drove down by the river, and she was all like "Play it again, JimmyBob" so I had to explain to her that this here tape would eventually wear out from overuse, and that if she wanted to hear it again she better be giving me some consideration as such. Well, on about the third go around she took off her top.. well, you can imagine what happened next. We ended up making sweet sweet love to the sounds of bullfrogs and coal miners. It was beautiful.. and now every year we celebrate our child Kleenex's birthday she claps along with her crab-like mitts and if the sun is right you can't hardly notice her one good eye staring off into the distance while the lazy one glares blindly at our NASCAR clock that overhangs the kitchen.

I think he's telling the world to not share a secret, possibly young son left behind being raised by another man. That if the son grew to know the truth that the son would be
