The Sound Of Your Goodbye — текст песни (Aaron Tippin)

Girl, I`ve got scars and I`ve seen stars
From men nearly twice my size
Yeah, life`s sticks and stones have broke a few bones
But I`ve always survived
So when I take a look at all I`ve took
It don`t seem right to me
How a little bitty woman with just a few words
Come bring me to my knees
Sticks and stones wouldn`t hurt a bit
Compared to the cold, cruel words that just leave your lips
I`d rather you pick up a rock, a stick full of thorns
Rear back and let `em fly
`Cause those sticks wouldn`t cut, stones hurt as much
As the sound of your goodbye

Yeah, I know I`m the reason you`re leavin`
I`m to blame sure enough
It`s like you say there ain`t a woman made
That can live without true love
So if it`s too late to set things straight
And there`s no forgivin` me
Then don`t say nothin,` just pick you up somethin`
That`ll end this misery.

Sticks and stones wouldn`t hurt a bit
Compared to the cold, cruel words that just leave your lips
I`d rather you pick up a rock, a stick full of thorns
Rear back and let `em fly
`Cause those sticks wouldn`t cut, stones hurt as much
As the sound of your goodbye
