The Companyâs been good to us
My father said to me as we sped down the highway
Toward the great cement building there
With tubes and with needles they would open up his bi-ways
They put you and your sister through school
Your mother never had to work if she didnât want to
And the two weeks paid vacation didnât hurt at all
Each summer we would take you kids camping by the lakeside
The Companyâs been good to me
I canât believe they didnât tell me all that they knew
The Company wouldnât lie to me
But now that I canât work I donât know what Iâm going to do for you
You head home and take care of your mom
You know I hate to see her cry and causing a commotion
Go ahead and give the Company a call
The least that they can do is give my boy a small promotion
I donât know how I got to feel like this
I guess itâs just the stuff that Iâve been breathing through these years
Iâve been so strong and healthy all my life
I never thought a little bit of dust was gonna kill me
Two hours later my daddy was dead
The companyâs been good to us was all my momma said
