Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
[Verse 1: Randy Travis]
Not too many years ago when dreams was 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[Verse 2: George Jones]
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 hauling when you rolled into to town
Say it’s good to know there’s still a few ol’ country boys around[Verse 3: George Jones & Randy Travis, George Jones]
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[Verse 4: Randy Travis & George Jones]
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
