[00:14.66]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
