Company I Keep

Company I Keep

Writers: Doug Supernaw & Britt Ennis

(Verse 1): I found the saddest songs I could find

I poured the last of last night's wine

Started out with Lefty and Hank

And then I went down through the ranks

John was down in Tennessee

Countin' his miseries

Vern was on his knees in a church

Praying to God how he hurt

(Chorus): Just a babbling fools are we

We got every reason to be

We've been down some roads

I wouldn't want you to see

(Tag): Cause if I laugh and sing too loud

And cry myself to sleep

Baby just a sad songs

For the company I keep

(Verse 2): I started feeling like a sissy

When I broke out my Elvis Presley

I said Don't you cry Daddy

But I did

Started with Merle and George and Lightning

It was a sight It really was frightening

Cause I curled up in a corner

Like a scared, scared kid

Chorus - once

Tag - twice
