Guy Clark - The Partner Nobody Chose Lyrics






She’s a melody in search of the words I love you
She’s a rose with rose with no room to grow
She’s a light in the night with nowhere to shine
She’s the partner that nobody chose

She’s tried and she’s tried
And she’s tried to keep on lovin’
But every man she loved broke her heart

She’s a melody in search of the words I love you
She’s a rose with no room to grow
She’s a light in the night with nowhere to shine
She’s a refuge where nobody goes

She’s fallen and stumbled
And stumbled and fallen
And no one picked her up when she fell

She’s stood up with hope up
That someone would show up
Someday you never can tell

She’s a melody in search of the words I love you
She’s a rose with rose with no room to grow
She’s a light in the night with nowhere to shine
She’s the partner that nobody chose

She’s a melody in search of the words I love you
She’s a rose with no room to grow
She’s a light in the night with nowhere to shine
She’s a refuge where nobody goes

She’s lonesome and nobody knows

    +Muzikgirl67 very unfortunate Guy passed on. I was lucky to see him play a real good show back in the late nineties. He sure wrote a lot of great great songs that will sure live on forever. I need to find his autograph I got buried somewhere in all my clutter.

    Check out Mumford & Sons & Friends doing this. Great job!

    So beautiful. One of the hidden country classics of the 80's. I didn't know Rodney Crowell co-wrote this one. At the time he was a superstar in the making, I suppose. Thanks, Brent, for another great share!!

    Glad you like it!  It's a great song!  With Rodney's production and co-writing on this one, I'm surprised it's not as well remembered as some of Guy's other classic's.  Thanks for listening!
