ragged company

Lyrics

o lord i think i'm falling, to my disbelief, i'm cursing like a sailor and lying like a thief, it's hard to heed the calling from the better side of me, when i'm blaming everybody else and no one's coming clean, o lord can you see my thick skin wearing thin, and the demons of a lesser me are beckoning me in, those who gathered'round me - i'm watching them all leave, cause i am my own ragged company, you can take a trip to china or take a boat to spain, take a blue canoe around the world and never come back again, but traveling don't change a thing, it only makes it worse, unless the trip you take is in to change your cruel course, 'cause every town's got a mirror and every mirror still shows me, that i am my own ragged company, o lord it's lonely, lord it's mighty cold, and i don't want to live this way, afraid of growing old, it's hard to heed the warning when you cannot see the crime, the only way to remember is to forget in a rhyme, and i'm scared to tread the red road that leads to galilee, cause i am my own ragged company
