“Devil In The Company Car” is a fictional story about ‘Jimmy Brown’ who spends his entire life working for the man who enjoys the corporate challenges and lifestyle. Until one day he cracks and looses it all going wild!
lyrics
Let me tell you a story, about old Jimmy Brown
Just a regular fella, from a sleepy town
Drags himself outta bed, runs a comb through his hair
Organized the night before, his outfit on the chair
Catches his refection, crack into a smile
Thinking when Jimmy Brown, lost it and went wild
Devil's in the company car
Hang on for your life
Taking the long way home
With someone else’s wife, with someone else’s wife
He’d been working hard in the same job since university
Seen many good folk, come and go, none determined as he
Climbed the corporate ladder, stairway to the sun
Jimmy thought he had it all, but what had he become?
Catches his refection, crack into a smile
Thinking how Jimmy Brown, lost it and went wild
Devil's in the company car
Hang on for your life
Taking the long way home
With someone else’s wife, with someone else’s wife
Time had come for Jimmy, to settle up the score
Words she said, all in his head as he busted down the door
“Sorry to inform you, but we have to let you go”
40 years of loyalty, nothing left to show
Catches his refection, crack into a smile
Not thinking now Jimmy Brown, lost it going wild
Devil's in the company car
Hang on for your life
Taking the long way home
With someone else’s wife,
Devil's in the company car
Hang on for your life
Taking the long way home
With someone else’s wife, with someone else’s wife
