BRANDY CLARK
"His Hands"

[Jennifer Nettles:]
I remember that day when he walked up to me
Wrote his number down, put it in the pocket of my blue jeans
And I fell like a feather, yeah, just like that, we were together
He was my perfect gentleman, sweet like, real sweet

[Jennifer Nettles:]
And his hands felt like thunder on my skin
His breath hot, oh, how could I forget?
That his eyes looked right through me, and that was it
Silence was the only sound then, and my heart pounding

[Brandy Clark:]
Told me things would be different leaving church that Sunday
But the only change comin' was the quarters in the ashtray
And I shoulda known better when the last three times he swore
That he would never lay another finger on me, but the truth's on my face

[Both:]
His hands felt like thunder on my skin
His breath hot, oh, how could I forget
[Brandy Clark:]
His eyes looked right through me and that was it
[Both:]
Silence was the only sound then
[Brandy Clark:]
And my heart pounding

[Jennifer Nettles:]
Oh, I thought that he was all I ever wanted
[Brandy Clark:]
Should've come with a warning
[Jennifer Nettles:]
And just like you, I've been there too
[Brandy Clark:]
Oh, I got bag and I got a plan
[Jennifer Nettles:]
Girl, you better get out while you can, while you can, while you can

[Brandy Clark:]
'Cause his hands felt like thunder on my skin
[Jennifer Nettles:]
His breath hot, oh, how could I forget?
[Brandy Clark:]
His eyes looked right through me and that was it
Silence was the only sound then
[Jennifer Nettles:]
Oh, silence was the only sound then
[Both:]
Silence was the only sound then
[Jennifer Nettles:]
And my heart heart pounding, ooh
