He tore down the work of 17 years[00:00:15]
Brick by brick and stone by stone[00:00:20]
No hammer was swingin’ cause cheatin’ and drinkin’[00:00:26]
Don’t need no help wreckin’ a home[00:00:32]
Ah, but when he came back through the dust and the rubble[00:00:37]
Of what he had once called his life[00:00:43]
He dropped to his knees in sheer disbelief[00:00:49]
Of the total destruction inside[00:00:55]
There were empty closets and empty drawers[00:01:00]
And a tearstained note on the kitchen floor[00:01:06]
And burning memories in the fireplace[00:01:12]
He waited too late to say he was wrong[00:01:23]
His house was still standing but his home was gone[00:01:29]
Brother, you would not believe[00:01:34]
What you can see from your knees[00:01:42]
Right then and there in an old sinner’s prayer[00:02:01]
He told things he’d kept in the dark[00:02:07]
There was no use in lying cause the man who was listening[00:02:12]
Could see every room in his heart[00:02:18]
Ah, he took empty whisky bottles, little black book and all[00:02:23]
To the fire she left on the grate[00:02:29]
Ah, sometimes a man will change on his own[00:02:35]
But sometimes I tell you it takes[00:02:40]
Empty closets and empty drawers[00:02:46]
And a tearful confession on the kitchen floor[00:02:51]
And burning memories in the fireplace[00:02:57]
He waited to late to say he was wrong[00:03:08]
His house was still standing he’d fight for his home[00:03:14]
Brother, you would not believe,[00:03:19]
Oh you would not believe[00:03:26]
What you can see from your knees[00:03:34]
