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 enoy your company... ooo...
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 enoy the company... ooo...
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 - ooo
