John Hughes – Company Town lyrics
When I was a boy My Mama worked hard
My Daddy worked the grave shift down In the ship yard
In this company town
When I went to school, I sat in the back
Was there that I made my plan of attack
To get out of this town
Out of this Company town
Company town, Company town, boy
But I got in trouble with a girl from school
So we both got jobs and worked like mules
In this company town
In this company town
Oh I learned some lessons, though they might’ve come slow
Making a living and making a life’s Not the same you know
Company town Company town, boy
Company town Company town, boy
I did my best to love her But it never did take
So I dug right in for my kid’s sake In this company town
In this company town
We went to church And I drove them to school
Everybody knows, you live by the rules
In this company town In this company town
Oh I learned some lessons, though they might’ve come slow
Making a living and making a life’s Not the same you know
Company town Company town, boy
Company town Company town, boy
My Daddy worked the grave shift down In the ship yard
In this company town
When I went to school, I sat in the back
Was there that I made my plan of attack
To get out of this town
Out of this Company town
Company town, Company town, boy
But I got in trouble with a girl from school
So we both got jobs and worked like mules
In this company town
In this company town
Oh I learned some lessons, though they might’ve come slow
Making a living and making a life’s Not the same you know
Company town Company town, boy
Company town Company town, boy
I did my best to love her But it never did take
So I dug right in for my kid’s sake In this company town
In this company town
We went to church And I drove them to school
Everybody knows, you live by the rules
In this company town In this company town
Oh I learned some lessons, though they might’ve come slow
Making a living and making a life’s Not the same you know
Company town Company town, boy
Company town Company town, boy
