Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Not too many years ago When dreams weren't coming true I'd reach for inspiration Sometimes it would be you I'd hear you on the radio I sure did like your sound Say it's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around From the smoke it's hard to tell What's coming down the line We heard you were a fast train Coming out of Caroline We wondered what you were haulin' When you rolled into to town Say it's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around You must have felt that same old feeling More than once or twice Guitars pressed against our hearts Under the neon lights I've got to say that feeling is the best that I have found Lord, it's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around There's a lot of truth you know In our kind of songs About the life you're living And how love's done you wrong As long as there's a jukebox And a honky tonk in town It's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around It's good to know there's still A few ol' country boys around
