[Verse 1] Just say good night, itll be alright Its time to go to sleep I gotta break my back in the early morn With my hands and shuffle my feet So I can eat So we could eat [Verse 2] She said, Work is what God made us for But I think shes full of shit Cause my skin, it fries in the summer skies And the Devil holds the whip And I cant quit We can never quit [Chorus] And every night when I get home now With every muscle sore A few pennies in my pocket My boots layin by the door And every night, Im lonely as I could ever b Im a company man, I cant hold no company [Verse 3] Well, when I come hom, bout a half past five Im nothin but skin and bones Shes sittin there in her rockin chair She likes to be left alone And I dont know her anymore, no, no Well, I dont know [Verse 4] Havent seen her smile for quite some time Her eyes have grown so dark We used to dance on our front porch Now, she wont dance at all Not that I can recall And I cant recall [Chorus] Every night when I get home now With every muscle sore A few pennies in my pocket My boots layin by the door And every night, Im lonely as I could ever be Im a company man, I cant hold no company Yeah! [Breakdown] [Verse 5] Was a Saturday, she went away She slithered through The Pines Like a graveyard robber, takin everything Money can never buy And I dont mind She was never mine And I dont mind [Outro] Every night when I get home now With every muscle sore A few pennies in my pocket My boots layin by the door And every night, Im lonely as I could ever be Im a company man, I cant hold no company Im a company man, I cant hold no company
