Lyrics

[Verse 1] She's got my picture inside of her locket She's got a most unforgettable face She goes for walks with her hands in her pockets She is a girl of impeccable taste [Verse 2] I work the mill and I vote with the union Just like my father, I'm a company man She'll go away to a school in New England I'll spend my life working with my hands [Chorus] And oh She's never gonna be mine, I know Some things Were decided so long ago [Verse 3] I sit alone in a chair in her parlor And I look down at the cuts on my hands Her father smiles, he treats me kindly But I know I don't fit into his plans [Verse 4] We'll meet tonight down at the drug store We'll say goodbye and tomorrow she'll leave She'll cry and say she'll love me forever But I know in time she'll forget about me [Chorus] And oh She's never gonna be mine, I know Some things Were decided so long ago [Bridge] But oh, someday I'll own this factory Someday I'll own this town Someday I'll get her back Some way, somehow [Outro] She's got my picture inside of her locket Oooh, company man She goes for walks with her hands in her pockets Oooh, company man I work the mill and I vote with the union Oooh, I'm a company man She'll go away to a school in New England Oooh, company man She's got my picture inside of her locket Oooh, company man She goes for walks with her hands in her pockets Oooh, company man
