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
