Two of a Kind Workin' on a Full House
Garth Brooks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yes, she's my lady luck, hey, I'm her wild-card man
Together we're buildin' up a real hot hand
We live out in the country
Hey, she's my little queen of the South
Yeah, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house

She wakes me every mornin' with a smile and a kiss
Her strong country lovin' is hard to resist
She's my easy lovin' woman, I'm her hard workin' man, no doubt
Yeah, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house

Yea, a pickup truck is her limousine
And her favorite dress is her faded blue jeans
She loves me tender when the goin' gets tough
Sometimes we fight just so we can make up

Lord, I need that little woman like the crops need the rain
She's my honeycomb and I'm her sugar cane
We really fit together if you know what I'm talkin' about
Yeah, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house

This time I found a keeper, I made up my mind
Lord the perfect combination is her heart and mine
The sky's the limit, no hill is too steep
We're playin' for fun, but we're playin' for keeps

So draw the curtain, honey, turn the lights down low
We'll find some country music on the radio
I'm yours and you're mine
Hey, that's what it's all about
Yeah, we're two of a kind
Workin' on a full house





Lordy, mama, we'll be two of a kind
Workin' on a full house

1996 baby, this was my favorite song from the Garth Brooks collection, his twang, his delivery, the violin, the drums, the piano, all so great… they don’t do it like Garth

@thepoet1470

Garth Brooks is THE artist that got me to start listening to country. Amazing. I am a hard rocker and metal rock fan. But I have my days. lol

@werearethedreamteam3724

Heavy metal is demonic JS

@TheBrotherdarkness9

I mainly listen to DnB or 90s rap, but Garth rocks. I also like some John Denver, that guy is spitting his lyrics. Greets from germany✌️

@melissajones2756
