James we were always friends,
From our childhood days
And 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
just look at what a job you've done
Carrying the weight of family pride.
James you've been well behaved,
You've been working so 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
James
I went on the road
You pursued an education
James
How you gonna know for sure
everything was so well organized.
Hey
now everything is so secure,
and everybody else is satisfied.
James do you like your life,
Can you find release
And will you ever change,
When will you write your masterpiece.
Do what's good for you
or you're not good for anybody
James
