Aaron Lee Tasjan - Company Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just say good night, it'll be alright
It's time to go to sleep
I gotta break my back in the early morn'
With my hands and shuffle my feet
So I can eat
So we could eat

[Verse 2]
She said, "Work is what God made us for"
But I think she's full of shit
'Cause my skin, it fries in the summer skies
And the Devil holds the whip
And I can't quit
We can never quit

[Chorus]
And every night when I get home now
With every muscle sore
A few pennies in my pocket
My boots layin' by the door
And every night, I'm lonely as I could ever bе
I'm a company man, I can't hold no company

[Verse 3]
Well, when I come homе, 'bout a half past five
I'm nothin' but skin and bones
She's sittin' there in her rockin' chair
She likes to be left alone
And I don't know her anymore, no, no
Well, I don't know
[Verse 4]
Haven't seen her smile for quite some time
Her eyes have grown so dark
We used to dance on our front porch
Now, she won't dance at all
Not that I can recall
And I can't recall

[Chorus]
Every night when I get home now
With every muscle sore
A few pennies in my pocket
My boots layin' by the door
And every night, I'm lonely as I could ever be
I'm a company man, I can't hold no company
Yeah!

[Breakdown]

[Verse 5]
Was a Saturday, she went away
She slithered through The Pines
Like a graveyard robber, takin' everything
Money can never buy
And I don't mind
She was never mine
And I don't mind
[Outro]
Every night when I get home now
With every muscle sore
A few pennies in my pocket
My boots layin' by the door
And every night, I'm lonely as I could ever be
I'm a company man, I can't hold no company
I'm a company man, I can't hold no company
