Serious As A Heart Attack Lyrics by River Cain
Running into an old friend down in Murphy’s
Hadn’t seen him since sometime last fall
He said, man, I hear you’ve been seeing somebody
Heck, I hardly see you at all
I said, I know, man I found the one
I really think she might be my wife
He said, not again you can’t be serious
Then I looked him dead in the eye
And said, I’m serious as a heart attack
My heart’s beating right out my chest now
I never felt this way before
No one comes close to her smile
I’m serious as a heart attack
I’d give anything to make this last
I’ve never been this sure before
I’m one knee from wanting more
I’m serious
He laughed and said, well, I’ll be damned
Never thought I’d see you settle down
I reached in my pocket and pulled out a ring
And said, I bet you think I’m serious now
I’m serious as a heart attack
My heart’s beating right out my chest now
I never felt this way before
No one comes close to her smile
I’m serious as a heart attack
I’d give anything to make this last
I’ve never been this sure before
I’m one knee from on the floor
I’m serious
Dead serious
Oh, I’m serious
Three months later, he stood beside me
While she walked down that aisle
He leaned over my shoulder and said, I guess you weren’t playing around
I’m serious as a heart attack
My heart’s beating right out my chest
I’ve never felt this way before
No one comes close to her smile
I’m serious as a heart attack
I’d give anything to make this last
I’ve never been this sure before
I’m one yes from forever more
