(Dolly Parton)

I used to sit for hours as a kid 
Dangle my feet from an old flat bridge, 
Seein' myself in the water below 
Shatter my image with the stones I'd throw 

I recall a vacant old shack 
Down by the edge of the tobaccer patch 
A child's reflection in a dirty window 
Shatter my image with the stones I'd throw 

A long time gone and a long time ago 
When I shattered my image with the stones I'd throw 
The world is cruel and people are cold 
They shatter my image with the stones they throw 
Shatter my image with the stones they throw 

I'm far from perfect, but I ain't all bad; 
It hurts me more than it makes me mad 
You gather your stones by stoopin' so low 
Then shatter my image with the stones you throw 

If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones 
Don't shatter my image 'til you look at your own 
Look at your reflection in your house of glass 
Don't open my closet if your own's full of trash 
Stay out of my closet if your own's full of trash 

A long time gone and a long time ago 
When I shattered my image with the stones I'd throw 
The world is cruel and people are cold 
They shatter my image with the stones they throw 
Shatter my image with the stones they throw 

A long time gone and a long time ago 
When I shattered my image with the stones I'd throw 
The world is cruel and people are cold 
They shatter my image with the stones they throw 
Shatter my image with the stones they throw 

Shatter my image with the stones you throw, 
Don't shatter my image with the stones you throw 
Shatter my image with the stones you throw, 
Shatter my image with the stones you throw, 
Shatter my image with the stones you throw, 
You shatter my image with the stones you throw 
Shatter my image with the stones you throw, 
You shatter my image with the stones you throw 
Shatter my image with the stones you throw, 
You shatter my image with the stones you throw 
Shatter my image with the stones you throw, 
You shatter my image with the stones you throw
