James

James, we were always friends
 From our childhood days
 Then we made our plans
 And we had to go our separate ways
 I went on the road
 You pursued an education
 James, do you like your life?
 Can you find release?
 And will you ever change?
 Will you ever write your masterpiece?
 Are you still in school
 Living up to expectations?
 James
 You were so relied upon
 Everybody knows how hard you tried
 Hey, now look at what a job you done
 Carrying the weight of family pride
 James, you been well behaved
 You've been working hard
 But will you always stay
 Someone else's dream of who you are?
 Do what's good for you
 Or you're not good for anybody
