 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
 I am  my own ragged company
Won't  you help  me lord
Won't  you help  me lord
someone cut  the cord
 
and I'm falling down again-------
 Oh 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
 I am  my own ragged company  (x3)
