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… |
