Man Of His Word

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 getting high, then she falling

She's getting tall, then she crawlin'

What you running from?

Is it a lie that her daddy told her?

Is it a scar that she got at thirteen?

Is it the late night crying sessions?

Is it the bones of a broken dream?

Well, feathered wings don't mean you're flying

Is it a crime to heal the hurt?

She don't need a man that keeps talking

She needs a man of his word

She's always looking 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's room wakes her

Well, she don't feel anything 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 crying sessions?

Is it the bones of a broken dream?

Well, feathered wings don't mean you're flying

Is it a crime to heal the hurt?

Well, she don't need a man that keeps talking

She needs a man, well, she needs a man of his word

Of his word

Well, 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 crying sessions?

Is it the bones of a broken dream?

Feathered wings don't mean you're flying

Is it a crime to heal the hurt?

Well, she don't need a man that keeps talking

She needs a man, well, she needs a man of his word

Of his word

Lord, of his word
