Don't you worry Mr. Jones it's just a business decision
It's nothing personal
I know you've worked these 40 acres 40 years
But now the loan is due
And don't you know a banker
Has to feed his family too
Don't you worry Mrs. Lee it's just a business decision
It's nothing personal
I know you've had this corner three generations
It's such a fine location
But don't you know the man
Has got to feed his family too
Give me something, give me something they can't take away
Give me something that might just last forever
I've been working so hard down here for all my days
But in the end that just leaves you with nothing
Don't you worry Mr. Brown it's jus a business decision
It's nothing personal
You've had a fine career here all these years
But Mr. Brown sales are down and we don't need you hanging 'round here
And after all our shareholders
Have to feed their families too
Give me something, give me something they can't take away
Give me something that might just last forever
I've been working so hard down here for all my days
But in the end that just leaves you with nothing
Oh give me something
Don't you worry Mr. Jones this ain't no business decision
It's strictly personal
You've been so faithful down here all these years
Now your time is done
And Mr. Jones
You're coming home
I've got something, something that will last forever
I've got something they can't never take away
I'm talking peace that passes all understanding
Don't you worry Mr. Jones 'cause you are saved
Give me something, give me something they can't take away
Give me something that might just last forever
I've been working so hard down here for all my days
But in the end that just leaves you with nothing
Oh give me something
I'll have what Mr. Jones is having
