"Man Of His Word" lyrics

Mm, mm

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

Mm
Mm
