(track 8 - time 4:54)
Theres a little two-room house just outside of town
With a little picket fence and the blinds pulled down
A wife with two young kids
She sees them off to bed
As she waits for her husband to come home
Lately shes been doing a lot of thinking
About the arguments and why shes hurting
Is it worth the extra mile
To hang on for a little while
When shes had all the heartache she can stand
And her mamas words still echo in her head
Girl, he cant talk without his hands
Whats made you stay this long I dont understand
If you leave now you might still have a chance
cause girl, he cant talk without his hands
Theres a little two-room house just a few miles down
The little girls grown up and shes married now
Tears on a window pane
With a baby on the way
As she waits for her husband to come home
She calls her mama up on the telephone
She says its getting dark and Im all alone
Can we talk for a little while
Mama says whats the matter child
But she knows that her babys been misled
And her mamas words still echo in her head
She said, girl, he cant talk without his hands
Whats made you stay this long I dont understand
If you leave now you might still have a chance
cause girl, he cant talk without his hands
