The Company I Keep Lyrics - Pizza Deliverance [original Recording Remastered] - Drive By Truckers

My Mama told me, your life is such a wreck 

Your dumber than dog shit 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 shit 

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 death which one might run out first 

Sometimes I feel like shit 

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 shit 

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
