Lyrics:
Come and have a look, beside me
A fine line of tears, part company
That's her handwriting that's the way she writes
From the first letter I got
Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I
Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I
Pay my respect to the company store
I ain't got no money don't want no more
Pay my respects to the company boys now just move along
I worked
Down the mountainside
To the coastline
Past the angry tide
The mighty diesel whines
And the tunnel comes
And the tunnel goes
Round another
I'm old fashioned
And that I'm part of a dying breed
I'd say I'm living in real good company
But that's just me
Yeah, they tell me I'm old
Once upon a time, not so very long ago
There was a little trouble going on
Diesels made the steamies pretty mad
And none of them could even get
I need somebody
Who's consistent with me
Someone already there
When I need company
'Cause when I'm feelin low
I don't wanna have to go out
That's just me
What you get is what you see
Well they tell me I'm old fashioned
And that I'm part of a dying breed
I'd say I'm living in real good company
Walking up to me expecting
Walking up to me
Expecting words
It happens all the time
Present company excepted
Present company
Accept the worst
getting high juvenile delinquent
And this is how it feels to be
On the payroll company
Your every scene is in the round
And all the men are falling
Walking up to me expecting
Walking up to me
Expecting words
It happens all the time
Present company excepted
Present company
Accept the worst
I need somebody
Who's consistent with me
Someone already there
When I need company
'Cause when I'm feelin low
I don't wanna have to go out
Always screaming cause I'm suffering so
Life's done never such a terrible blow
The bag I'm in is just a sack o'woe
Misery company and I'm feeling
Another Myke Diesel production...
[Chorus]
Knockin', knockin' doors down, showin' parts of rhyme
Knockin' doors down, showin' parts of rhyme
Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I
She says I'm a tender-hearted man
Prince charming,yeah, sure, I'm the guy
He likes the wrecker's dogs on chains
And the smoke from the company fires
Pay my respect to the company store
I ain't got no money don't want no more
Pay my respects to the company boys
Now just move along
I worked hard
me to stand in for her
And be the love of your next act
But this time I play the part so well
There'll be no need for her coming back, 'cause...
to stand in for her
And be the love of your next act
But this time I play the part so well
There'll be no need for her coming back, 'cause...
[CHORUS:]
Battered buses jammed up to the roof
Dust and diesel the prevailing themes
Farmer sleeping on the truck in front
Feet trailing over like he's
Relax and take notes
As I take another toke from the sour diesel smoke
Relax and take notes
As I take another toke from the sour diesel smoke
Relax
The convoy lights are dead ahead
The merchantmen lay in their bed
The thump of diesels hammer down
In the oily sea, the killing ground
Knuckles
fusing and using our smarts
(As STINE, STONE and GABBY get on the crane platform:)
And greatness can come from the sum of our parts
(The entire company
