Tom T. Hall - Love’s Been Good To Me lyrics

I have been a rover I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways never found a home
Still in all I'm happy the reason is you see
Once in a while along the way
Love's been good to me

There was a girl in Portland
Before the winter chill we used to go out
Courtin' along October Hill
She could laugh away the dark
Clouds cry away the snow
Seems like only yesterday down the road I go

There was a girl in Houston out
Where the hot winds blow
Why I had to leave her God Almighty knows
She could take the long hot summer
Cool it with a sigh
Words have no more wisdom when
It's time to say goodbye
