James Taylor - Company Man [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
It seems you've been living on your own
Lonely and free
Looking to make yourself known, same as me
Well I see you in the public eyes
I see you're looking fine
The boy would be a businessman
And he signs the bottom line

[Chorus]
Singing company man
Do what you can with my name
Rock and roll man, here I am
I'm staking my claim to fame

[Verse 2]
He's got the smiling face of a friend
Still you're not quite certain you know him
The smile turns into a grin
What do you owe him?
You know you owe him
So if there's something you do well
Something you're proud of
Better to save some for yourself if that's allowed
The crowd will never know you
You'll hardly know yourself
They'll turn you round and blow you up
Until you think you're someone else

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
He can turn your time to gold
You better make as much as you can my friend
Because his money will turn you old
And they need a young man
The job takes a young man

[Outro]
Company man
Rock and roll man
You can shuck and jive for me
And I - yeah
