Favorite One Lyrics - Singles - Nashville Session Players

He walks all alone by the railroad tracks 

Carrying what he owns in a couple of sacks 

A collective thumb keeps pushing him down 

Told him many times he's not welcome in town 

He doesn't know he's a favorite son 

Love reaches deeper than the tears have run 

Before he was born, his unique heart 

Was fashioned in the mural of creation art 

Hes a favorite one, in spite of all weve done 

Oh---Oh, favorite one 

Workin' two jobs ends never seem to meet 

She often goes hungry so her babies can eat 

Fatherless son wears torn clothes to school 

Where makin' fun of him's the only golden rule 

She doesn't know she's a favorite daughter 

That someone wants to help her walk on water 

We've destroyed her faith, treated her with scorn 

And made her long regret the day she was ever born 

She's a favorite one, in spite of all we've done 

Oh---Oh, favorite one 

In this fool's gold rush of greed's deception game 

The way we treat each other is a dirty rotten shame 

And we have no idea were a favorite one 

Loved before the dawn of a stained creation 

What goes around comes back to haunt our children 

Generations blinded by generations' sin 

Were a favorite one, in spite of all weve done 

Oh---Oh, favorite one 

Oh---Oh, favorite one 

Oh---Oh, favorite one 

He walks all alone by the railroad tracks 

Carryin' what he owns in a couple of sacks
