Sticks and Stones is the debut studio album by American country music artist Tracy Lawrence. It was released on November 12, 1991, by Atlantic Records. It produced four singles: the title track, "Today's Lonely Fool", "Runnin' Behind", and "Somebody Paints the Wall", which peaked at Nos. 1, 3, 4, and 8, respectively, on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (later Hot Country Songs) charts between 1991 and 1993.

The track "Paris, Tennessee" was later recorded by Dennis Robbins (one of the co-writers) on his 1992 album Man with a Plan and by Kenny Chesney on his 1995 album All I Need to Know. "Somebody Paints the Wall" was previously recorded by Josh Logan on his 1988 album of the same name, from which it was released as a single that year.
