She's got my picture inside of her locket
She's got a most unforgettable face
She goes for walks with her hands in her pockets
She is a girl of impeccable taste

I work the mill and I vote with the union
Just like my father, I'm a company man
She'll go away to a school in New England
I'll spend my life working with my hands

And oh she's never gonna be mine I know
Some things were decided so long ago

I sit alone in a chair in her parlor
And I look down at the cuts on my hands
Her father smiles, he treats me kindly
But I know I don't fit into his plans

We'll meet tonight down at the drug store
We'll say goodbye and tomorrow she'll leave
She'll cry and say she'll love me forever
But I know in time she'll forget about me

And oh she's never gonna be mine I know
Some things were decided so long ago

But oh someday I'll own this factory
Someday I'll own this town
Someday I'll get her back
Some way, somehow
This song is from the album "Michael Johnson".
