Be careful of stones that you throw.

[SPOKEN]
A neighbor was passing my garden one time
She stopped and I knew right away
That it was gossip, not flowers, she had on her mind
And this is what I heard my neighbor say:

"That girl down the street should be run from our midst
She drinks and she talks quite a lot
She knows not to speak to my child or to me."
My neighbor then smiled and I thought:

[CHORUS]

[SPOKEN]
A car speeded by and the screamin' of brakes
A sound that made my blood chill
For my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path
And saved by a girl lying still.

The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out:
"Oh! who was that brave girl so sweet?"
I covered the crushed, broken body and said:
"The bad girl who lived down the street."

[CHORUS]

Love it! I've never heard that song.

oh my...it is an old old song...you must be young!

Yes, amen.

I had not heard that old Hank Williams song either. Had to look it up and here it. And I'm nearly 60! lol

Praying that swelling goes down and you are back to more normal than before!
