O lord I think I'm falling   To my disbelief   I'm cursing like a sailor and lying like a thief   It's hard to heed the calling from the better side of me   When I'm blaming everybody else and no one's coming clean      O lord can you see my thick skin wearing thin   And the demons of a lesser me are beckoning me in   Those who gathered'round me - I'm watching them all leave   Cause I am my own ragged company      You can take a trip to china or take a boat to Spain   take a blue canoe around the world and never come back again   But traveling don't change a thing, it only makes it worse   Unless the trip you take is in to change your cruel course   'Cause every town's got a mirror and every mirror still shows me   That I am my own ragged company      O lord it's lonely, lord it's mighty cold   And I don't want to live this way   Afraid of growing old      It's hard to heed the warning when you cannot see the crime   The only way to remember is to forget in a rhyme   And I'm scared to tread the red road that leads to galilee   Cause I am my own ragged company
