[Carlene Carter, Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash - It Takes One to Know Me lyrics]
It's true that I used to be crazy
And harder to love than most men
And the blood that ran in these tired hands
Was harder and wilder back then
And I don't feel as tall as I used to
Maybe it's just that I've grown
You're the one that held my hand when I fell
If I just couldn't make it alone
We've lived out all the stories
Sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me
I guess you're the one
Your daughters are ladies of fortune
And your son an heir to the throne
And though this crown that I hold is
Tarnished and cold
It's a symbol of all that we own
Sometimes I wish I was younger
And could pick up the pieces and run
But then I look back on the matter of fact
And it's a race that we've already won
We've lived out all the stories
Sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me
I guess you're the one
We've lived out all the stories
Sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me and you knew the one
And harder to love than most men
And the blood that ran in these tired hands
Was harder and wilder back then
And I don't feel as tall as I used to
Maybe it's just that I've grown
You're the one that held my hand when I fell
If I just couldn't make it alone
We've lived out all the stories
Sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me
I guess you're the one
Your daughters are ladies of fortune
And your son an heir to the throne
And though this crown that I hold is
Tarnished and cold
It's a symbol of all that we own
Sometimes I wish I was younger
And could pick up the pieces and run
But then I look back on the matter of fact
And it's a race that we've already won
We've lived out all the stories
Sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me
I guess you're the one
We've lived out all the stories
Sang all the old songs
It takes one to know me and you knew the one
