Hole in the Wall

(Alan Jackson/Jim McBride)



There's a hole in the wall

Where a nail used to be

A nail that held a picture of

The one that once held me.



Now that wall's tellin' me

What I don't wanna hear

I'm tired of the word ''fool''

Ringin' in my ears.



Oh, I guess a saner man

Would simply paint it

But I'm not sane and after all

My wall, ain't it?

I've got this hammer in my hand

And when I'm through

There'll be a hole in that wall

Big enough to drive a truck through.

When you lose the greatest love

You've ever had

A little hole in the wall

Is enough to drive you mad.



Oh, I guess a sanner man

Would simply paint it

But I'm not sane and after all

My wall, ain't it?

I've got this hammer in my hand

And when I'm through

There'll be a hole in that wall

Big enough to drive a truck through.



Oh, I've got this hammer in my hand

And when I'm through

There'll be a hole in that wall

Big enough to drive a truck through...
