THE COMPANY I KEEP - DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9
G D Cadd9 G C
My Mama told me, "Your life is such a wreck"
G C
"You're dumber than dog shit", is what my Daddy said
G C G
I was just thirteen when they showed me the door
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I keep their picture but don't look at it no more
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
G D Cadd9 G C
My first wife told me, you need to get a life
G C
My third wife told me to get another wife
G C G
I brought a bottle and the van's parked right out-side the door
D Cadd9 G
So come on out with me, if you wanna be number four
CHORUS
C G
Sometimes I feel like shit
D
Sometimes that ain't half of it
C G C G
Some-times I'm so high I'm scared to go to sleep
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
G D Cadd9 G C
Ain't held down a job since nineteen-eighty-four
G C
I get by holding up convenience stores
G C G
And I get by on liquor, guns, and luck
D Cadd9 G
But I'm scared to death which one might run out first
[REPEAT CHORUS]
G Cadd9 G
G D Cadd9 G C
I see my past in every-thing that I de-spise
G C
I've seen my future and I'm scared to close my eyes
G C G
Is that my ghost that I see in my fears
D Cadd9 G
Or just my re-flection in my Mama's tears
[REPEAT CHORUS]
G D Cadd9 G C
Sometimes I'm lower than the company I keep
D Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
