Stitches

(album: I Want My Money Back - 2003)

There's a scar on my right elbow
From a barb wire fence when I was 8 years old
I must've ran a mile crying in my torn shirt
When I heard the words "tell me where it hurts"

If there was a scratch or a bruise on my skin
Momma would put me back together again
All it took was her prayers and her kisses
And it would heal me just like stitches

I took Sherry Johnson to the high school dance
But she left early with my best friend
I must've drove 10 miles to get my mind off her
But it didn't work 'til I heard the words
"Tell me where it hurts"

If there was a scratch or a bruise on my skin
Momma would put me back together again
All it took was her prayers and her kisses
And it would heal me just like stitches

She could mend a broken heart, fix a bicycle wreck
It's funny now but back then it seemed like life or death
I seen her sow rags into riches
And it would heal me just like stitches

If there was a scratch or a bruise on my skin
Momma would put me back together again
All it took was her prayers and her kisses
And it would heal me just like stitches
Oh it would heal me just like stitches
