Jon Lowry - Pretty Good Company Lyrics

I had a hand in the fall of man
I bet it all on a losing hand
I broke your heart when the heat broke me
'Cause what the law demands I could never be
I headed for the border like an outlaw on the run
I hollowed out my bible so that I could hide my gun
But all my dreams were haunted by a hangman in a hood
Who wants me in the balance with the wicked and the good

The drifters and the grifters liars and thieves
Are telling me I'm pretty good company
And those that kill for money, them that kill for greed
Are telling me I'm pretty good company

Religion tried to save my soul
It dug me deeper in the same old hole
With no escape and no way to pay
I guess that debt gets settled on judgement day

The drifters and the grifters liars and thieves
Are telling me I'm pretty good company
And those that kill for money, them that kill for greed
Are telling me I'm pretty good company

It's in the darkest night you see the starlight shine
And out here in the desert where the water tastes like wine
When that wayward woman broke the jar at Jesus' feet
Saying "Lord have mercy", bet that air smelled sweet
Lord have mercy, have some mercy on me please

The drifters and the grifters liars and thieves
Are telling me I'm pretty good company
And those that kill for money, them that kill for greed
Are telling me I'm pretty good company
Pretty good company
