Company Man

歌詞

She's got my picture inside of her locket She's got a most unforgettable face She goes for walks with her hands in her pockets She is a girl of impeccable taste I work the mill and I vote with the union Just like my father, I'm a company man She'll go away to a school in New England I'll spend my life working with my hands And oh she's never gonna be mine I know Some things were decided so long ago I sit alone in a chair in her parlor And I look down at the cuts on my hands Her father smiles, he treats me kindly But I know I don't fit into his plans We'll meet tonight down at the drug store We'll say goodbye and tomorrow she'll leave She'll cry and say she'll love me forever But I know in time she'll forget about me And oh she's never gonna be mine I know Some things were decided so long ago But oh someday I'll own this factory Someday I'll own this town Someday I'll get her back Some way, somehow
