There's a scar on my right elbow
|
From a barbed wire fence when I was eight years old
|
I must have ran a mile just crying in my torn shirt
|
'Till I heard the words tell me where it hurts.
|
|
If there was a scratch or a bruise on my skin
|
Mama would put me back together again
|
All it took was her prayers and her kisses
|
It would heel me just like stitches.
|
|
I took Sherry Johnson to the high school dance
|
But she left early with my best friend
|
I must of drove ten miles to get my mind off her
|
But it didn't work 'till I heard the words tell me where it hurts
|
|
She could mend a broken heart, fix a bicycle wreck,
|
Funny now but back then it seemed life or death
|
I've seen her sew rags into riches
|
It would heel me just like stitches.
