Lyrics for Everyman Needs a Companion

Every man needs a companion Someone to turn his thoughts to I know I do Every man needs a companion Someone to console him Like I need you John the Baptist took Jesus Christ Down to the river on a Friday night They talked about Mary Like a couple of boys With nothing to lose Too scared to try Every man needs a companion Someone to turn his thoughts to I know I do Every man needs a companion Someone to console him Like I need you Joseph Campbell and The Rolling Stones Couldn't give me a myth So I had to write my own I got hung up on religion Though I know it's a waste I never liked the name "Joshua" And I got tired of "J." Every man needs a companion Someone to console him Like I need you
