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
