Introduction
There’s something genuinely heartwarming about “A Few Ole Country Boys.” It’s like catching up with an old friend who’s seen the same roads, felt the same hardships, and shares your deep love for the simple things in life. Randy Travis and Jamey Johnson, both with voices steeped in the tradition of country music, bring a raw authenticity to this song that feels like a quiet conversation on a porch at sunset, reminiscing about the good old days.
The beauty of this song lies in its storytelling. It’s not just about two men who’ve been through the wringer; it’s about the camaraderie that forms when you’ve lived a life full of the same struggles and triumphs. Travis and Johnson’s harmonies are as smooth as a well-aged whiskey, wrapping around lyrics that speak to the heart of what it means to be a country boy. They’re not just singing—they’re sharing a piece of themselves, a piece of the very fabric that makes up their identities.
What’s truly special about “A Few Ole Country Boys” is how it connects with its listeners. It’s like a musical nod to those who’ve lived the life of a country boy, whether that means growing up on a farm, knowing the value of a hard day’s work, or simply loving the open sky. The song doesn’t just tell a story; it invites you into it, making you feel like you’re part of a circle that understands what it means to have dirt on your boots and pride in your heart.
This song isn’t just a duet; it’s a passing of the torch, a meeting of kindred spirits who carry the weight of tradition while still carving out their own space in country music. And in a world that’s always changing, it’s a reminder that some things—like the bond between a few ole country boys—never will.

Lyrics
[Verse 1: Randy Travis]
Not too many years ago when dreams was coming true
I’d reach for inspiration, sometimes it would be you
I’d hear you on the radio, I sure did like your sound
Say it’s good to know there’s still a few ol’ country boys around
[Verse 2: George Jones]
From the smoke it’s hard to tell what’s coming down the line
We heard you were a fast train coming out of Caroline
We wondered what you were hauling when you rolled into to town
Say it’s good to know there’s still a few ol’ country boys around
[Verse 3: George Jones & Randy Travis, George Jones]
You must have felt that same old feeling more than once or twice
Guitars pressed against our hearts under the neon lights
I’ve got to say that feeling is the best that I have found
Lord it’s good to know there’s still a few ol’ country boys around
[Verse 4: Randy Travis & George Jones]
There’s a lot of truth you know in our kind of songs
About the life you’re living and how love’s done you wrong
As long as there’s a jukebox and a honky tonk in town
It’s good to know there’s still a few ol’ country boys around
It’s good to know there’s still a few ol’ country boys around
