(Alan Jackson/Jim McBride)

There's a hole in the wall
Where a nail used to be
A nail that held a picture of
The one that once held me.

Now that wall's tellin' me
What I don't wanna hear
I'm tired of the word ''fool''
Ringin' in my ears.

Oh, I guess a saner man
Would simply paint it
But I'm not sane and after all
My wall, ain't it?
I've got this hammer in my hand
And when I'm through
There'll be a hole in that wall
Big enough to drive a truck through.

--- Instrumental ---

When you lose the greatest love
You've ever had
A little hole in the wall
Is enough to drive you mad.

Oh, I guess a sanner man
Would simply paint it
But I'm not sane and after all
My wall, ain't it?
I've got this hammer in my hand
And when I'm through
There'll be a hole in that wall
Big enough to drive a truck through.

Oh, I've got this hammer in my hand
And when I'm through
There'll be a hole in that wall
Big enough to drive a truck through...
