Searching for this old one

[mynaime]

I just thought of this phrase from an old song, "Just be careful of the stones that you throw." That is all I remember. Do you remember the song?

[godskids]

"Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw"

[CHORUS]
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.

[SPOKEN]
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:

[CHORUS]

[SPOKEN]
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."

[CHORUS]
By Hank Williams.
God Bless "

Wow, imagine singing that in Church.. Hank as in Old Hank? Country music at it's finest, always tell a story and maybe a twist at the end. Always make em think. I guess that's why even today I prefer the old country music style. Stories that make you think and you can understand the words when they sing.
