Actions Speak Louder Than Words - David Allan Coe

作曲：D A Coe

You can eat the fruit

While you're cussing the tree

That it came from

And you can't hate the father and still love his son

And you can't talk of peace while you carry a gun

Because actions speak louder than words

Actions speak louder than words don't you know

Flowers all grow from the seeds that we sow

But a weep's still a weep boy wherever it grows

And actions speak louder than words

Hey son always sit with your back to the wall

The bigger they come boy the harder they fall

And you can't learn to walk till you learn how to crawl

And actions speak louder than words

Actions speak louder than words can't you tell

You can't get to heaven by going through hell

And your soul is the one thing you better not sell

'Cause actions speak louder than words

Hey son always try to be one of a kind

Don't walk behind when the blind lead the blind

You can follow your heart son but think with your mind

'Cause actions speak louder than words

Actions speak louder than words so they say

Time is a thief son and crime just don't pay

There are times you should cry boy and times you should pray

'Cause actions speak louder than words

Actions speak louder than words can't you see

If your mind's in prison your soul can't be free

And you can't eat the fruit while you're cussing the tree

'Cause actions speak louder than words
