COMPANYS BEEN GOOD TO ME

EmThe GCompany’s been good to us
My AmFather Csaid to Dme as we sped down the highway
EmTowardG the great cement building there
With Amtubes Cand DwithEm needles they would open up his bi-ways

EmThey put Gyou and your sister through school
Your AmMother never Chad to Dwork if she didn’t want to
And theEm two weeks Gpaid vacation didn’t hurt at all
EachAm summer weC wouldD takeEm you kids camping by the lake side

CHORUS:

GThe Amcompany’s been good to me
I Ccan’t Dbelieve they didn’t tell me all that they knew
CThe Amcompany wouldn’t lie to me
ButC nowD that IEm can’t work I don’t know what I’m going to do for you

EmYou Ghead home and take care of your Mom
You Amknow IC hate to Dsee her cry and causing a commotion
EmGo aheadG and give the company a call
The Amleast thatC theyD can do isEm give my boy a small promotion

EmI don’t know Ghow I got to feel like this
I Amguess it’s just theC stuff Dthat I’ve been breathing through these years
EmI’ve been Gso strong and healthy all my life
I neverAm thoughtC a Dlittle bit of Emdust was gonna kill me

CHORUS

EmTwo Ghours later my Daddy was dead
TheAm company’sC beenD goodEm to us was all my Momma said
