He Can't Talk Without His Hands

(Giselle Brohman/Jason Barry)
 (Track 8 - Time 4: 54)
 There's a little two-room house just outside of town
 With a little picket fence and the blinds pulled down
 A wife with two young kids
 She sees them off to bed
 As she waits for her husband to come home
 Lately she's been doing a lot of thinking
 About the arguments and why she's hurting
 Is it worth the extra mile
 To hang on for a little while
 When she's had all the heartache she can stand
 And her mama's words still echo in her head
 Girl, he can't talk without his hands
 What's made you stay this long I don't understand
 If you leave now you might still have a chance
 'Cause girl, he can't talk without his hands
 There's a little two-room house just a few miles down
 The little girl's grown up and she's married now
 Tears on a window pane
 With a baby on the way
 As she waits for her husband to come home
 She calls her mama up on the telephone
 She says it's getting dark and I'm all alone
 Can we talk for a little while
 Mama says what's the matter child
 But she knows that her baby's been misled
 And her mama's words still echo in her head
 She said, girl, he can't talk without his hands
 What's made you stay this long I don't understand
 If you leave now you might still have a chance
 'Cause girl, he can't talk without his hands
