I did not have the luck
Rolled out of indiana in the back of a pickup truck
With no education higher
Than the street of my hometown
I went lookin' for a fire
Just to burn it all down
Chorus:
You've got a real fine love
You've got a real fine love
One I am unworthy of
You've got a real fine love, baby
I thought I had a line on something
Maybe no one else could say
And they couldn't find it in their hearts
To just get out of my way
Then out of nowhere, and from nothing
You came into my life
I'd seen an angel or two before
But I'd never asked one to be my wife
Chorus
Well you can sprinkle all your teardrops
Across the evening sky
But you cannot hide the twinkle
Of starlight in your eye
Well I left my map way back there, baby
I don't know where we are
But I'm gonna pull my pony up
And hitch my wagon to your star
Chorus
Well now the babies are all sleeping
And the twilight's givin' in
She looks like you, he looks like her
And we all look like him
Well maybe it's just the little thing
The way I feel tonight
A little joy
A little peace
Chorus twice
You got it
Well I never went to college, babe I did not have the luck Rolled out of indiana in the back of a pickup truck With no education higher Than the street of my hometown I went lookin' for a fire Just to burn it all down Chorus: You've got a real fine love You've got a real fine love One I am unworthy of You've got a real fine love, baby I thought I had a line on something Maybe no one else could say And they couldn't find it in their hearts To just get out of my way Then out of nowhere, and from nothing You came into my life I'd seen an angel or two before But I'd never asked one to be my wife Chorus Well you can sprinkle all your teardrops Across the evening sky But you cannot hide the twinkle Of starlight in your eye Well I left my map way back there, baby I don't know where we are But I'm gonna pull my pony up And hitch my wagon to your star Chorus Well now the babies are all sleeping And the twilight's givin' in She looks like you, he looks like her And we all look like him Well maybe it's just the little thing The way I feel tonight A little joy A little peace Chorus twice You got it Explain Request ×
