Lyrics of Company town

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 mightve come slow
Making a living and making a lifes 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 kids 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 mightve come slow
Making a living and making a lifes not the same you know
Company town company town, boy
Company town company town, boy
