Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw Lyrics
Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw - Hank Williams JR.
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
The seeds of distrust it will sow
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
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
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
The seeds of distrust it will sow
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
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
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
The seeds of distrust it will sow
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
