It Takes One to Know Me - Carlene Carter

It Takes One To Know Me

It’s true that you used to be crazy

And harder to love than most men

And the blood that ran through your tired old hands

Was harder and wilder back then.

You don’t seem as tall as you used to

Maybe it’s just that I’ve grown.

You’re the one that held my hand when I fell,

I just couldn’t make it alone.

We’ve lived out all the stories

And sang all the old songs.

It takes one to know me,

I guess you’re the one.

Your daughter’s a lady, a fortune

And your son an heir to the throne

And though this crown we hold is tarnished and cold

It’s a symbol of all that you owned.

Sometimes I wish I was younger

And could pick up the pieces and run

But when I look back on the matter of fact

It’s a race that we’ve already won.

We’ve lived out all the stories

And sang all the old songs.

It takes one to know me,

I guess you’re the one.

We’ve lived out all the stories

And sang all the old songs.

It takes one to know me,

I guess you’re the one.

It takes one to know me,

I guess you’re the one
