Clinton Collins & The Creekboys: Music
The Company You Keep
()
Fun song to perform live.
Simply, choose your friends wisely.
The Company You Keep
I've been drifting slowly
Into the dark
I've been hiding so foolish
From my own good heart
I've never been a strong man
You know I'm so weak
So easily persuaded
By the company I keep
I fell for all the lies
That fill up the air
Believe in yourself
What others think don't care
But I've hurt those I love
I've seen them weep
For a man such as I
And the company I keep
It's easy to stray
And stumble into the night
Far from your love ones
Farther from the light
And what you have sown
You'll someday reap
Be careful who you trust
And the company you keep
This modern world
Will laugh and scorn
To have faith in something
When you're tattered and torn
But you can rise up
From the darkness deep
But sometimes you've got move on
From the company you keep
