Porter Wagoner
Shattered Image
[Verse]I used to sit for hours as a kid
And dangle my feet from an old flat bridge
Seeing myself in the water below
Shatter my image with the rocks I'd throw
Shatter my image with the rocks I'd throw
[Chorus]
A long time gone and a long time ago
When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw
[Verse]
I'm far from perfect, but I ain't all bad
And it hurts me more than it makes me mad
We all do things that we don't want told
And we all throw stones that we shouldn't throw
You shattered my image with the rocks you throw
[Chorus]
A long time gone and a long time ago
When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw
[Verse]
If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones
Don't shatter my image till 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
[Chorus]
A long time gone and a long time ago
When I shattered my image with the rocks I'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
Now they shatter my image with the rocks they throw
Shatter my image with the rocks they throw
[Outro]
Shatter my image with the rocks you throw
Don't shatter my image with the rocks you throw
