Man Of His Word Lyrics

Mmm, mmm

Little piece of Alabama, smile for the camera
For the looks and the glamour
Like a nail to a hammer, she's always comin' down
Who the hell's been talkin' 'round of applause and
She's gettin' high, then she fallin'
She gettin' tall, then she crawlin'
What you runnin' from?

Is it a lie that her daddy told her
Is it a scar that she got at thirteen
Is it the late night cryin' sessions?
Is it the bones of a broken dream?
Well, feathered wings don't mean you're flyin'
Is it a crime to heal the hurt?
She don't need a man that keeps talkin'
She needs a man of his word

She's always lookin' for a savior, someone who will shape her
Yeah, a builder not a breaker
A doer not a sayer
But they never come

As the love in a stranger room wakes her
Well, she don't feel anythin' but the dark and the danger

Is it a lie that her daddy told her
Is it a scar that she got at thirteen
Is it the late night cryin' sessions?
Is it the bones of a broken dream?
Well, feathered wings don't mean you're flyin'
Is it a crime to heal the hurt?
She don't need a man that keeps talkin'
She needs a man, well, she needs a man of his word
Of his word

Promises easily made are easily broken
And love is more than words that are spoken

Is it a lie that her daddy told her
Is it a scar that she got at thirteen
Is it the late night cryin' sessions?
Is it the bones of a broken dream?
Feathered wings don't mean you're flyin'
Is it a crime to heal the hurt?
She don't need a man that keeps talkin'
She needs a man, well, she needs a man of his word
Of his word
Ah, of his word

Mmm
Mmm
