Good Company Lyrics

Father Thompson

Hands like rocks

Pushed his plow 'til the light

Of the day slipped behind the treetops

But he don't worry about

Where he's not

'Cuz he knows he gonna drive

The plow home to his babies playin' in the yard

And even on his worst days

The song remains the same 'cuz he could be

Diggin' in a ditch in the blisterin' Georgia sun

Wishin' he was singin' his songs to everyone his

Hands are tired his body aches

But it's not the what or the when

Or the where that matters

It's the who do we got to fill the ranks around us it's

Why we are here in the first place

I know that the how of a great life lived is

Good Company

18 and overseas in 44

Trench foot frostbite bullets whippin' by

Knockin' down heaven's door but they're

Playin' gin rummy in their

Foxholes thinkin'

Well I could die any minute but at least I won't die alone

And even in the darkest hour

A little light shines from the tower cuz he could be

Sittin' in a ditch in the blisterin' winter cold

wonderin' if he's ever gonna make it home his

Hands are tired his body aches

But it's not the what or the when

Or the where that matters

It's the who do we got to fill the ranks around us it's

Why we are here in the first place

I know that the how of a great life lived is

Good Company

Good Company

Are the beams

And the nails

And the seams

Years have faded

His daughters grown

Wife been gone for a few years now

God rest her soul and he's

Lookin' over his

Fields of gold got

Hank the Hound layin' down

By his feet gnawin' on a dear bone

And though the faces come and go

That melody don't change its notes 'cuz he could be

Sit-in' on the porch back and forth in the rocking chair

Legs barely work thank God he's still got his hands

To play for the people walking by

It's not the what or the when

Or the where that matters

It's the who do we got to fill the ranks around us it's

Why we are here in the first place

I know that the how of a great life lived

Oh the how of a great life lived

Oh the how of a great life lived is

Good Company
