Good Company

Lyrics

[Intro]


(Acoustic guitar and cello plucking intro)


(Rhythmic foot stomping and hand claps)


(Melodic whistling)


[Chorus]
Old dirt, couldn't hold no longer
Cold wind, made the shadows stronger
Hard rain, made the river deeper
Oh Lord, I am done with walking with you
My life's a bitter pill to swallow
Dead dreams in the valley hollow
Sharp thorns sinking in my collar
Oh babe, don't you know what I'm gonna do

[Verse]
I see my dry bone, stone thrown, home grown, sweet pea my prize
The road is hard, scarred, barred, marred, yard, drops me to my eyes
It didn't start, smart, cold heart, old cart, hang me from a tree
After I lie down, underground, in the gravel we'll lay in good company

[Chorus]
Old dirt, couldn't hold no longer
Cold wind, made the shadows stronger
Hard rain, made the river deeper
Oh Lord, I am done with walking with you
My life's a bitter pill to swallow
Dead dreams in the valley hollow
Sharp thorns sinking in my collar
Oh babe, don't you know what I'm gonna do

[Verse]
I see my dry bone, stone thrown, home grown, sweet pea my prize
The road is hard, scarred, barred, marred, yard, drops me to my eyes
It didn't start, smart, cold heart, old cart, hang me from a tree
After I lie down, underground, in the gravel we'll lay in good company

[Outro]
In the gravel we'll lay in good company
In the gravel we'll lay in good company

(Foot stomping slows down)


(Melodic whistling fades out)


(Single final cello pluck)
