TRUE COMPANION

Original Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers version

So many years spent waiting, so many years just holding fast
To find I've been forgotten, how much longer can I last
Some nights when I'm out there singing I feel like a stranger in this town
My regret's a lone companion as this world keeps turning 'round

My Daddy he's a good man, he worked hard all his life
And all that really mattered was his family and his wife
He's on the front porch strumming his guitar on a summer night
He is my true companion, he gave me this life

He is my true companion, he will always be my friend
Until the last man left standing, well he'll be there to the end

Well my baby she was praying that our day would finally come
And that the light would break through and the clouds release the sun
I can hear her softly sighing in our bedroom late at night
She is my true companion, with her I share my life

Now she is my true companion, now she will always be my friend
Until the last man left standing, well she'll be there to the end
Now they are my true companions, now they will always be my friends
Until the last man left standing, now they will be there to the end
Now they will be there to the end
Now they will be there to the end

My true companion
My true companion
Hey yeah yeah
Whoa hoo
