You can tell the World
you never was my brother
You can burn my clothes before I'm gone
Oh
you can tell your friends just what a fool I've bin
and laugh and joke about me on the phone

Go you can tell my arms go back into the farm
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Oh
you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reachin' out for you no more

Don't tell my heart
my achy breacky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart
my achy breacky heart
he might blow up and kill this man

Solo

You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansao
You can tell your dog to bite ma leg
Go tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway

Go tell your aunt Louise
tell anything you please
The self already knows I'm not okay
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walkin' out on me today

Don't tell my heart

Solo

Don't tell my heart

Don't tell my heart

Solo
