Lyrics
Well I've been sittin' here, thinkin' about you'Bout what it is that you, you want from meYou know it seems that I still don't know you wellKnow many faces I have seenStill I try, to make you happyStill I try, to make you sing
FULL LYRICSEVERYDAY COMPANIONChordsFULL CHARTEVERYDAY COMPANIONSong OriginWhen the band started we all lived in this little house in Athens, Georgia, called King Avenue, and we had a friend. His name was Tom Gunther. We commonly knew him as Bear. He left town... Some months later we got a postcard. It arrived at the band house. On the front side of it was a skier catching air way up in the mountains. On the back side was a post mark from Telluride, Colorado, and a very simple message on the postcard that said, ‘The air here is great. We're having an ass-kicking time. This town is nuts. My kind of place. I don't ever want to leave.’Dave Schools, bassist
