Eric Church - k** A Word lyrics

[Verse 1] If I could k** a word and watch it die I'd poison "never," shoot goodbye Beat "regret" when I felt I had the nerve Yeah, I'd pound "fear" to a pile of sand Choke "lonely" out with my bare hands I'd hang "hate" so that it can't be heard If I could only k** a word [Verse 2] I'd take "brokeness" out back And break "heartbreak," stand there and laugh Right in its face while shootin' it the bird I'd put "upset" down in its place I'd squeeze the life out of "disgrace" Lay "over" under six cold feet of dirt If I could only k** a word If I could only k** a word [Chorus] Give me sticks, give stones Bend my body, break my bones Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay But if were up to me to change I'd turn "lies" and "hate" to "love" and "truth" If I could only k** a word [Verse 3] I'd knock out "temptation"'s teeth I'd sever "evil," let it bleed Then light up "wicked," stand and watch it burn I'd take "vice" and I'd take "vile" Tie 'em up there with "hostile" Hang 'em high and leave 'em for the birds If I could only k** a word [Chorus] So give me sticks, give stones Bend my body, break my bones Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay But if were up to me to change I'd turn "lies" and "hate" to "love" and "truth" If I could only k** a word If I could only k** a word
