Janis Ian Present Company
I used to drive a pipe line, And cured a blind man's bent. I tried to ride the maiden line, I went there with my friends.
I like to be together. I like to be alone. A-yes, and a-what I like best, Is I like it like this, And to stay with you at home.
Enjoy the present company. Eat some grits and hominy. And it couldn't get much better for me. I enjoy your company, oooo.
I used to drive an ocean liner, Sunk in fifty-two, Off the coast of Indo-China. Yes, I sunk there too.
Frost on the jewel glass window sill, It's ringing in the dawn, a-my dear. Spring is busting outta my ears, I wish that I was home.
Enjoy the present company. Eat some grits and hominy. And it couldn't get much better for me. I enjoy the company, oooo-ahhhh.
You can wave a banner, I don't mind if you do. a-Runnin' back to Louisiana, I'm a-gonna drink that mountan dew.
Used to be a loner, And I run the highway tolls, What I run now is a runnin' and a-how, And I stay with you at home.
So joy to the present company, Joy to the grits and hominy. And a-joy to gettin' better for me, I enjoy the company, oooo.
