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.
