Company Town Lyrics - Singles - John Hughes

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
