Among the Few
George Jones · A Good Year For The Roses
Just a share croppers shack by a railroad track
And a well in the back will do
Though few may find this kind of love
Was built for one another
And we're so lucky we're among the few.
And if we had three wishes wonder what we'd wish for
We'll walk through this world together hand in hand our whole life through
We found peace of mind so many tried so hard to find another
And we're so lucky we're among the few.
--- Instrumental ---
We'll go far though we may not own a car
And we might look for it and right next door
To our neighbors that might own two
We'll walk with those who love like us and though there won't be many
We're so lucky we're among the few.
And if we had three wishes wonder what we'd wish for
We'll walk through this world together hand in hand our whole life through
We found peace of mind so many tried so hard to find another
And we're so lucky we're amoung the few.
And we're so lucky we're amoung the few...
