The Company I keep Songtext

The Company I Keep

Well, I never was most-likely-to-succeed
The air up at the top was hard to breath
I couldn't wait to get out of New York
And go where the wine don't come with a cork
I had to change the company I keep

Now the weather man is on the ball tonight
He says it just might freeze but that's allright
'cause hangin' around in the parking lot
Playin' skins-and-shirts with the other have-nots
Beats hell outta sittin' there
Playin' the price is right

And the road to hell is paved with diamond dust
That and good intentions
I got loads to tell about people I could trust
Too few to mention
So long, see ya later, bye-bye

Now Sally came from somewhere out of town
She said she just tried of bein' kicked around
Sally might have missed that bus
But now she's one of us
No good man's ever keep my Sally down

Sally had it all and she didn't come cheap
But she said the price was a little too steep
She left her penthouse in LA
She threw it all way
Now Sally is the company I keep

And the road to hell is paved with diamond dust
That and good intentions
I got loads to tell about people I could trust
But they're too few to mention
So long, see ya later, bye-bye

Oh, Sally and me gonna fly
It don't bother us that much anyway
We would not have it any other way
We're happy with the company we keep
So long, see ya later, bye-bye

It don't bother us that much anyway
We would not have it any other way
We're happy with the company we keep
So long, see ya later, bye-bye
