LYRICS I take the county road around the town Let that diner sign go dark I've heard enough of "Come on, sit on down" From men who never meant their part There's a blue heeler riding shotgun With his chin across my knee He don't ask me where the money went He's just glad to ride with me That's the company I keep Four good paws and a tailgate seat Hooves in the dust, wings in the pines Nothing to prove, no lines to read between Let the whole town talk till it's half asleep I've got a place where I can breathe Call me lonesome if you need That's the company I keep My mare hears gravel by the cattle guard And she meets me at the wire I bring a bale out to the lower yard While the sun burns down like fire Those cows don't care about my last name Or the trouble that I've seen And the birds up on that old tin roof Leave the quiet here for me That's the company I keep Four good paws and a tailgate seat Hooves in the dust, wings in the pines Nothing to prove, no lines to read between Let the whole town talk till it's half asleep I've got a place where I can breathe Call me lonesome if you need That's the company I keep When the thunder shakes the pasture I don't leave them on their own I walk that mare into the shelter Bring both dogs inside my home Trust ain't something I can talk through It's a bucket filled at dawn It's showing up when someone needs you And staying till the fear is gone That's the company I keep Four good paws and a tailgate seat Hooves in the dust, wings in the pines Nothing to prove, no lines to read between Let the whole town talk till it's half asleep I've got a place where I can breathe Call me lonesome if you need That's the company I keep Two dogs sleeping at my feet That's the company I keep #SoulOnRails #CountryMusic #LyricVideo #TheCompanyIKeep
