James... we were always friends,

From our childhood days

And we made our plans,

And we had to go our separate ways.

/9

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.

/9

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.

/9

Do what's good for you

or you're not good for anybody...

James

/9

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.

/9

Do what's good for you

or you're not good for anybody...

James...
