lyrics

Company Man

When I met you you were drinking too much
I took you aside and said enough is enough
My daddy drank it's a pattern I won't repeat
The last night you drank came the first of our babies

You took a job doing God knows what
You tried to explain it but you gave up
said all you cared about was making me happy
Caught up providing for your family

You are not a company man
I know you tried and I understand
everything you did, you did it for me
Well me and you and our two babies

At night you'd come home with your hands in your pockets
saying they don't like me, don't do what they promised
they're bleeding me dry, it's almost like I'm working for free
I wish we never had those babies

You are not a company man
I know you tried and I understand
everything you did, you did it for me
Well me and you and our two babies

Then one night at the Christmas party
You drank seven coke and Bacardi
and you put your hand on the ass of the bosses lady
almost got arrested but hell you were free
you were free of me and our two babies

You are not a company man
I know you tried and I understand
everything you did, you did it for me
Well me and you and our two babies
What about me and you our two babies
