Discover the story of the song > Sticks and Stones – Tracy Lawrence

The protagonist is telling her partner that he can take all the material things they have, like their house and diamond ring, but that won't matter to her because she only needs their love. Her partner is still not satisfied with what they have, even though they used to be happy with very little. The protagonist knows that material things don't make a home, and that the hurtful words her partner said have hurt her more than any physical objects could.
