GENUINE SWEET COMPANY [ country ] Some folks say he’s a rich man, but lonely like the rest of us They say he owns expensive cars but likes to take the bus At night he watches tv alone without friends or family Lord knows, he sure could use some genuine sweet company You may be a small-time player lyin’ your way up the social ladder Or a preferred large stock holder who keeps on gettin’ fatter One thing we share in common, no matter who we happen to be Lord knows, we all can use some genuine sweet company Poor Lazarus was a sick lonely man with no friends, without a home Sittin’ outside the gate of a rich man, destitute and forlorn When he died he went on to where the rich man forever longs to be Lord knew, they both could use, some genuine sweet company You may be a wheeler an’ a dealer engaged in office power talks High above a homeless veteran livin’ in a cardboard box One thing we share in common, no matter who we happen to be Lord knows, we all can use some genuine sweet company Maybe there’s a reason why the good Lord taught us all to help out our brother We’re in this thing called life together, dependant on each other So when you see a wealthy man, say “hello”, even if you’re poor Be kind to a lonely widow, death soon knocks at every door In a world short on compassion and filled with insincerity Lord knows, we all can use some genuine sweet company             Copyright © 2006 by Richard Aberdeen Copyright © 2007 by Freedom Tracks Music No part of this material may be reproduced or utilized in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including printing, photocopying, recording or by any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from the Publisher and signed by the author.  Inquiries: Freedom Tracks Music ~ Records, 292 Trails Circle, Nashville, TN 37214 or requested via eMail.  Essays entitled Revolution and Revolution -- Side B are open copyright and may be reproduced or utilized as often as one likes.
