James Taylor — Company Man

[Verse 1] It seems you've been living on your own Lonely and free Looking to make yourself known Same as me [Verse 2] Well I see you in the public eyes I see you're looking fine The boy would be a businessman And he signs the bottom line [Chorus] Singing: "Company man Do what you can with my name Rock and roll man, here I am I'm staking my claim to fame" [Verse 3] He's got the smiling face of a friend Still you're not quite certain you know him The smile turns into a grin What do you owe him? You know you owe him [Verse 4] So if there's something you do well Something you're proud of Better to save some for yourself If that's allowed [Verse 5] The crowd will never know you You'll hardly know yourself They'll turn you round and blow you up Until you think you're someone else [Chorus] ''Company man Do what you can with my name Rock and roll man, here I am I'm staking my claim to fame'' [Verse 6] He can turn your time to gold You better make as much as you can my friend Because his money will turn you old And they need a young man The job takes a young man [Outro] Oh Company man oh My Rock and roll man oh Company man Rock and roll man You can shuck and jive for me And I - yeah oh
