Bad Company Lyrics

There's no food in the cupboard, there's no fire in my den

No corn in the cellar, and I ain't heard from my kin

Lord, won't you tell me, why have you forsaken me

Is it because of the liquor, or the bad company

It's been seven whole years since I left where I was born

So twisted in the head, I forget where I come from

The devil, he has gripped me, but he won't let me out his sight

So I drink some more corn liquor, and I pray I don't go blind

Bad company

Why do I just always aim to please

Bad company

Running ragged, and they've got a hold of me

Bad company

Between the pills and the thrills, and it all seems real, till I come down on my knees

Lord, please protect me from this bad company

There's a voodoo woman with her eyes as wide as mine

There's a man in a white suit who swears that he can change my life

I stumble around by myself with my eyes closed so tight

But I know who's to blame when I've gone out my mind

Bad company

Why do I just always aim to please

Bad company

Running ragged, and they've got a hold of me

Bad company

Between the pills and the thrills, and it all seems real, till I come down on my knees

Lord, please protect me from this bad company

Yeah, I'm lost, I'm sure as hell ain't been found

The wicked ways of the world just are bringing me down

They say don't let them in, they just say no

Just stay in the house and lock the front door

Yeah, I'm lost, I'm sure as hell ain't been found

The wicked ways of the world just are bringing me down

I told them go away, then they said hell no

Kicked in the deadbolt right off my front door

Bad company

Why do I just always aim to please

Bad company

Running ragged, and they've got a hold of me

Bad company

Between the pills and the thrills, and it all seems real, till I come down on my knees

Lord, please protect me from this bad company
