James

[Verse 1: Billy Joel] James, we were always friends From our childhood days And we made our plans And we had to go our sep'rate 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 - oh, look at what a job you've done Carrying the weight of family pride James, you've 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 James [Instrumental] I went on the road You pursued an education James, how you gonna know for sure? Everything was so well organized Hey, oh 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
