Brand New Companion Songtext
von Townes Van Zandt

I got a brand new companion
Man, I′m gonna do right this time
I got a brand new companion
Man, I'm gonna do right this time
Yeah she cools me with her breathin′
Chases away those howlin' bottles of wine


She fits just like my guitar
Man, she's near as tall as me
She fits just like my guitar
Man, she′s near as tall as me
She lives way out the D train
Oh, but she′s Texas as can be

She got a home-spun disposition
Oh, just as gentle as you please
She got a home-spun disposition
Well, just as gentle as you please
She got arms just like two rattle snakes
Legs like a willow in the breeze


I got a brand new companion
Man, I'm gonna do right this time
I got a brand new companion
Man, I′m gonna do right this time
I'm gonna track her with my body
And I′m gonna trace her with my mind
