Nashville Session Players - Favorite One lyrics

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
