There's a little two-room house just outside of town |
| [00:19.73] |
With a little picket fence and the blinds pulled down |
| [00:24.60] |
|
| [00:26.23] |
A wife with two young kids |
| [00:29.91] |
She sees them off to bed |
| [00:32.10] |
As she waits for her husband to come home |
| [00:39.42] |
Lately she's been doing a lot of thinking |
| [00:46.04] |
About the arguments and why she's hurting |
| [00:49.79] |
|
| [00:52.29] |
Is it worth the extra mile |
| [00:54.98] |
To hang on for a little while |
| [00:58.56] |
When she's had all the heartache she can stand |
| [01:03.31] |
|
| [01:05.25] |
And her mama's words still echo in her head |
| [01:09.00] |
|
| [01:11.56] |
Girl, he can't talk without his hands |
| [01:15.50] |
|
| [01:18.00] |
What's made you stay this long I don't understand |
| [01:20.38] |
If you leave now you might still have a chance |
| [01:28.38] |
|
| [01:33.01] |
'Cause girl, he can't talk without his hands |
| [01:35.39] |
|
| [02:01.03] |
There's a little two-room house just a few miles down |
| [02:05.21] |
|
| [02:06.72] |
The little girl's grown up and she's married now |
| [02:10.97] |
|
| [02:13.53] |
Tears on a window pane |
| [02:15.28] |
|
| [02:16.28] |
With a baby on the way |
| [02:18.22] |
|
| [02:19.15] |
As she waits for her husband to come home |
| [02:23.90] |
|
| [02:25.90] |
She calls her mama up on the telephone |
| [02:32.28] |
She says it's getting dark and I'm all alone |
| [02:38.78] |
Can we talk for a little while |
| [02:41.72] |
Mama says what's the matter child |
| [02:44.97] |
But she knows that her baby's been misled |
| [02:49.34] |
|
| [02:51.53] |
And her mama's words still echo in her head |
| [02:58.10] |
She said, girl, he can't talk without his hands |
| [03:03.28] |
|
| [03:04.59] |
What's made you stay this long I don't understand |
| [03:08.72] |
|
| [03:11.47] |
If you leave now you might still have a chance |
| [03:18.03] |
'Cause girl, he can't talk without his hands |
