Drive-By Truckers - The Company I Keep lyrics

My Mama told me, your life is such a wreck Your dumber than dog sh** is what my Daddy said I was just thirteen when they showed me the door I keep their picture but don't look at it no more My first wife told me, you need to get a life My third wife told me to get another wife I brought a bottle and the van's parked by that tree So come on out with me, if you want to be number four Sometimes I feel like sh** Sometimes that ain't half of it Sometimes I'm so high I'm scared to go to sleep Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep Ain't held down a job since 1984 I get by holding up convenience stores I get by on liquor, guns and luck But I'm scared to d**h which one might run out first Sometimes I feel like sh** Sometimes that ain't half of it Sometimes I'm so high I'm scared to go to sleep Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep I seen my past in everything that I despise I've seen my future and I'm scared to close my eyes Is that my ghost that I see in my fears Or just my reflection in my Mama's tears Sometimes I feel like sh** Sometimes that ain't half of it Sometimes I'm so high I'm scared to go to sleep Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep I pray the Lord my soul to keep
