Company Man

[Verse 1]

Passed down from your father

You come by it honestly

Passed out from exhaustion

Looking around for some relief

[Pre-Chorus 1]

But you

Put your money on the wrong horse

All alone in the middle of nowhere

You put your money on the wrong horse

Premonitions start to whisper:

[Chorus]

When you've always been a company man

But who did you use to be?

You're out here flying the flag

But lost track of what it really means

When you've always been a company man

Got the ground coming out from underneath

Hey company man, start walking on your own two feet!

Huh!

[Verse 2]

I get it, I get it, you can eat pretty good

But just 'cause you can, don't mean that you should

I get it, I get it, you're just misunderstood

You said, "Gimme a minute man, let me explain"

[Pre-Chorus 2]

But you

Hitch your wagon to the wrong horse

You turned around and asked, "How did we get here?"

You hitch your wagon to the wrong horse

Premonitions start to whisper:

[Chorus]

When you've always been a company man

But who did you use to be?

You're out here flying the flag

But lost track of what it really means

When you've always been a company man

Got the ground coming out from underneath

Hey company man, start walking on your own two feet!

Huh!

[Bridge]

You dig it up, dig it up all day (All day)

Take a toll, take a toll on the body

You serve it up, serve it up with no shame

That's a pretty good deal for you

You dig it up, dig it up all day (All day)

Take a toll, take a toll on the body

You serve it up, serve it up with no shame

There's a new day coming for you

[Chorus]

When you've always been a company man

But who did you use to be?

You're out there flying the flag

But lost track of what it really means

When you've always been a company man

You got the ground coming out from underneath

Hey company man, start walking on your own two feet!

[Chorus]

When you've always been a company man

But who did you use to be?

You're out (t)here flying the flag

But lost track of what it really means

When you've always been a company man

(You) got the ground coming out from underneath

Hey company man, start walking on your own two feet!

Huh!
