One Of The Fortunate Few - Delbert McClinton

Well for one thing, there was a whole lot of guys

Who’d like to be in my shoes

But the upkeep on a woman like that

Give an old poor boy the blues

Still the pleasure was worth the pain

Of everything she put me through

And I consider myself one of the fortunate few

Yeah and another thing She wasn’t just good looking

Her imagination just wouldn’t quit

She’d make you do things you never thought about

And things you wouldn’t want to admit

There must be somebody else out there

That feels about her like I do

And I consider myself one of the fortunate few

It felt so good to hurt so bad

The best and worst that I ever had

I know I bit off more than I could chew

Still I consider myself one of the fortunate few

Well that’s the last thing I want to tell you

Some things are better left unsaid

A gentleman don’t go talking about

What happens in a woman’s bed

That’s all I’ve got to say

I’ll leave the rest up to you

But I consider myself one of the fortunate few
