Lyrics
Well, there's a scar on my right elbow
From a barbwire fence when I was eight years old
I must've ran a mile, crying in my torn shirt
When I heard the words, "Tell me where it hurts"
If there was a scratch or a bruise on my skin
Momma would put me back together again
All it took was her prayers and her kisses
And it would heal me just like stitches
Well, I took Sherry Johnson to the high school dance
But she left early with my best friend
I must've drove ten miles to get my mind off her
But it didn't work 'til I heard the words
Tell me where it hurts
If there was a scratch or a bruise on my skin
Momma would put me back together again
All it took was her prayers and her kisses
And it would heal me just like stitches
Oh, she could mend a broken heart, fix a bicycle wreck
It's funny now, but back then, it seemed like life or death
I seen her sow rags into riches
And it would heal me just like stitches
If there was a scratch or a bruise on my skin
Momma would put me back together again
All it took was her prayers and her kisses
And it would heal me just like stitches
Oh, it would heal me just like stitches
