From Your Knees Lyrics - Around The Bend - Randy Travis

He tore down the work of seventeen years 

Brick by brick and stone by stone 

No hammer was swingin' 'cause cheatin' and drinkin' 

Don't need no help wreckin' a home 

Ah, but when he came back through the dust and the rubble 

Of what he had once called his life 

He dropped to his knees in sheer disbelief 

Of the total destruction inside 

There were empty closets and empty drawers 

And a tear stained note on the kitchen floor 

And burnin' memories in the fireplace

He waited too late to say he was wrong 

His house was still standin' but his home was gone 

Brother you would not believe 

What you can see from your knees 

Right then and there in an old sinner's prayer 

He told things he'd kept in the dark 

There was no use in lyin' 'cause the man who was listenin' 

Could see every room in his heart 

Ah, he took empty whiskey bottles, little black book and all 

To the fire she left on the grate 

Ah, sometimes a man will change on his own 

But sometimes I tell you it takes 

Empty closets and empty drawers 

And a tearful confession on the kitchen floor 

And burnin' memories in the fireplace 

Photos 

He waited too late to say he was wrong 

His house was still standin', he'd fight for his home 

Brother you would not believe, oh you would not believe 

What you can see from your knees
