Dana Lyons The Company's Been Good To Me Lyrics

The company's been good to us
My father said to me
As we sped down the highway
Toward the great cement building there
With tubes and with needles
They would open up his bi-ways

They put you and your sister through school
Your mother never had to work
If she didn't want to
And the two weeks paid vacation didn't hurt at all
Each summer we would take you kids
Camping by the lakeside

The company's been good to me
I can't believe they didn't tell me
All that they knew
The company wouldn't lie to me
But now that I can't work
I don't know what I'm gonna do for you

You hеad home and take care of your mom
You know I hatе to see her cry And causing a commotion
While you're there, give the Company a call
The least that they can do
Is give my boy a small promotion

I don't know how I got to feel like this
I guess it's just the stuff
That I've been breathing through these years
I've been so strong and healthy all my life
I never thought a little bit
Of dust was gonna kill me

The company's been good to me
I can't believe they didn't tell me
All that they knew
The company wouldn't lie to me
But now that I can't work
I don't know what I'm gonna do for you

Two hours later my daddy was dead
The company's been good to us
Was all my momma said
