Baby When Your Heart Breaks Down Songtext
von The Oak Ridge Boys

(Kix Brooks)

Baby, when your heart breaks down
When you′re low on lovin' and there isn′t anybody around
Well, you're gonna feel bad and you'll want to get back
The only good thing that you ever had.
Honey, when he turns you loose
And you keep on tryin′ to forget him but it ain′t no use
Well, then you're gonna know what I′m feeling now
Baby, when your heart breaks down.

I left Appaloosa and my homemade wine
I give up a job on a gas pipeline
I chased you across the country like that's all I had to do
There was nothing in the world would′ve changed my mind.
You were the girl with the starry eyes
And all them dreams that never had a chance of coming true.


Baby, when your heart breaks down
When you're low on lovin′ and there isn't anybody around
Well, you're gonna feel bad and you′ll want to get back
The only good thing that you ever had.
Honey, when he turns you loose
And you keep on tryin′ to forget him but it ain't no use
Well, then you′re gonna know what I'm feeling now
Baby, when your heart breaks down.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I packed my bags, bought a guitar
I caught me a ride on an old grain barge
I′m floatin' down this river tryin′ not to think of you
Now one of these days when it says goodbye
Just to see how hard you'll cry
You'll be tryin′ not to want me too.

Baby when your heart breaks down
When you′re low on lovin' and there isn′t anybody around
Well, you're gonna feel bad and you′ll want to get back
The only good thing that you ever had.
Honey, when he turns you loose
And you keep on tryin' to forget him but it ain′t no use
Well, then you're gonna know what I'm feeling now
Baby, when your heart breaks down.


Baby, when your heart breaks down
When you′re low on lovin′ and there isn't anybody around
Well, you′re gonna feel bad and you'll want to get back
The only good thing that you ever had.
Honey, when he turns you loose
And you keep on tryin′ to forget him but it ain't no use
Well, then you′re gonna know what I'm feeling now
Baby, when your heart breaks down.

Baby, when your heart breaks down
When you're low on lovin′ and there isn′t anybody around
Well, you're gonna feel bad and you′ll want to get back

Honey, when he turns you loose
And you keep on tryin' to forget him but it ain′t no use
Well, then you're gonna know what I′m feeling now

And you keep on tryin′ to forget him but it ain't no use
Well, then you′re gonna know what I'm feeling now
Baby, when your heart breaks down...
