The Road Company (Mount Vernon Sessions)
Well I guess it's just another time for Charlie to run
Got himself a job at the Union station in the California sun
The west was calling and time was wasting, life had begun
And everyone had underestimated the horse that he rode in on
He never said to many words
What he had to say
Was keep, keep the road company
Someday when I run this line from here all the way to Kansas
I'll decide to take her for my wife and I'll head on back to Texas
Ft. Worth sounds really nice, you know the living suits me fine
The stock yard, the city lights
the railroad cars and the railroad line
He never said to many words
What he had to say
Was keep, keep the road company
A life spent, a life forgotten, a life that was never won
He held back, he held onto the dreams of every American
Ft. Worth left him longing, but then it's just Ft. Worth
On the seat of a lonely apartment of a friend
never had the time to say
Hold your head above another, boy
Hold your head on straight
Keep, keep the road company
Today
