Be Careful of Stones That You Throw

[2MidnightRiders]

A tongue can accuse and carry bad news the seeds of distrust it will sow

[2MidnightRiders]

But unless you've made no mistakes in your life be careful of stones that you throw

[2MidnightRiders]

A neighbor was passing my garden one time she stopped and I knew right away

[2MidnightRiders]

That it was gossip not flowers she had on her mind

[2MidnightRiders]

And this is what I heard my neighbor say

[2MidnightRiders]

That bad girl down the street should be run from our midst

[2MidnightRiders]

She drinks and she talks quite a lot

[2MidnightRiders]

She knows not to speak to me or my child my neighbor then smiled and I thought
A tongue can accuse...

[2MidnightRiders]

A car speeded by and the screaming of brakes a sound that made my blood chill

[2MidnightRiders]

For my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path

[2MidnightRiders]

And saved by a girl lying still

[2MidnightRiders]

The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out oh who was that brave girl so sweet

[2MidnightRiders]

I covered the crushed broken body and said the bad girl who lived down the street

[2MidnightRiders]

A tongue can accuse...
