      It’s a great song. Another more recent country singer did an updated version of it. Lemme find it.

      Edit. Found it. Cooper Alan, “Suit and Tie”

          That man gets any deeper and he’ll be singing underground. That is a helluva bass on that man.

    “I owe my soul to the company store.”

    Painfully accurate then, painfully accurate now.

    The first time I heard this was when I worked for Disney, it played in the bathrooms in Dinoland. But Cast Members are union, and I’ve worked for much worse, non-union places, since then. But what Disney did to the college program kids frankly should have been criminal. Almost everything they made went to Disney owned dorms that they were forced to rent back then.
