  • James, we were always friends
    From our childhood days
    And we made our plans
    And we had to go our separate 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, 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 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

    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?
    Will you ever change?
    When will you write your masterpiece?
    Do what's good for you
    Or you're not good for anybody, James Writer/s: Billy Joel
