Townes Van Zandt
Brand New Companion
I got a brand new companion, man, I'm gonna do right this time
Got a brand new companion, gonna do right this time
She cools me with her breathing
Chases away them howling bottles of wine

She fits just like my guitar, man, she's near as tall as me
She fits just like my guitar, near as tall as me
She lives way out on the D Train
But she's Texas as can be

She got a homespun disposition, she's gentle as you please
She got a homespun disposition just as gentle as you please
She got arms like two rattlesnakes
Legs just like a willow in the breeze

I got a brand new companion, want to do right this time
I got a brand new companion, want to do right this time
I want to trace her with my body
I want to track her with my mind
