Lyric Brand new companion

by Townes Van Zandt

I got a brand new companion
man, I m gonna do my best this time
I got a brand new companion
man, I m gonna do my best this time
you know 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
she s near as tall as me
she lives way out the D train
but she s Texas as can be


She got a home-spun disposition
man, she s just as gentle as you please
she got a home-spun disposition
man, she s just as gentle as you please
she got arms just like two rattle snakes
legs just like a billow in the breeze


I got a brand new companion
man, I m gonna do my best this time
I got a brand new companion
man, I m gonna do my best this time
I want to trace her with my body
I want to track her with my mind
