Stitches Lyrics

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.
