Present Company

Used to drive a pipeline
From here to Blind Man’s Bend
Tried and ride the main line
I went there with my friends
I like to be together
I like to be alone
Yes, and what I like best
Is I like it like this
And I stay with you at home
Enjoy the present company
Eat some grits and hominy
Couldn’t get much better for me
I enjoy your company… ooh…
Used to drive an ocean liner
Sunk in '52
Off the coast of Indochina
Yes, I sunk there, too
Frost on the jewel glass windows here
Is ringing in the dawn, my dear
Spring is busting out of my ears
I wish that I was home
Enjoy the present company
Eat some grits and hominy
Couldn’t get much better for me
I enjoy the company… ooh…
You can wave a banner
I don’t mind if you do
I’m running back to Louisiana
I’m gonna drink that mountain dew
Used to be a loner
And I’d run the highway tolls
What I run now is I’m running anyhow
And I stay with you at home
So joy to the present company
Joy to the grits and hominy
And a joy to getting better for me
I enjoy the company… ooh…
