Jameswe were always friends,
From our childhood days
And we made our plans,
And we had to go our seperate ways
I went on the road-
You pursued an education

Jamesdo 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 expectationsJames

You were so relied upon, everybody knows how hard you tried-
Heyjust look at what a job you've done,
Carrying the weight of family pride
Jamesyou'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 anybodyJames

I went on the road-
You pursued an educationJames
How you gonna know for sure-everything was so well organized
Heynow everything is so secure,
and everybody else is satisfied

Jamesdo 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 anybodyJames
