Company Time from What Sells by Elijah Cash

Company Time

Well, I've been on company time
for more years than I can count.
I sold away my soul.
I sold away my heart.

Well, I've been stealing dimes the till,
just taking pieces back to build a life.
And I wrote the words to this song
while I was on the clock.

And Man, if you don't like it,
I guess I'll walk.

It's good to have a job
'cause it's good to feed your mouth.
But if home is where the heart is,
then I done sold the Man my house.

Working here these years,
has felt no different than when I did time.
And I'm no thief,
I'm just stealing back what's rightfully mine.
