Ragged Company Lyrics

Ragged Company lyrics

O Lord, I think I'm falling to my disbelief

I'm cursing like a sailor and lying like a thief

It's hard to heed the calling from the better side of me

When I'm blaming everybody else and no one's coming clean



O Lord, can You see my thick skin wearing thin ?

And the demons of a lesser me are beckoning me in

Those who gathered 'round me I'm watching them all leave

'Cause I am my own ragged company



So you can take a trip to China or take a boat to Spain

Take a blue canoe around the world and never come back again

But traveling don't change a thing, it only makes it worse

Unless the trip you take is in to change your cruel course



'Cause every town's got a mirror

And every mirror still shows me

That I am my own ragged company

I am my own ragged company



Won't You help me, Lord?

Won't You help me, Lord?

Someone cut the cord

And I'm falling down again



Oh, it's lonely, Lord, it's mighty cold

And I don't wanna live this way

Afraid of growing old



It's hard to heed the warning when you cannot see the crime

The only way to remember is to forget in a rhyme

And I'm scared to tread the red road that leads to Galilee

'Cause I am my own ragged company

I am my own ragged company

I am my own ragged company

I am my own ragged company
