Guitar man and his band came to Company Town in the summer of '81
They stood out like black on white among the pale-faced miners in the land of
the midnight sun
The people had never known anyone whose name they couldn’t spell
Until they met a few that night kickin' it up at the Company Town hotel
And they played «Funkytown» and «Jailhouse Rock»
Folks rocked the boat and around the clock
Until the sunlit night became day
And the only moonshine they ever saw
Was the kind served with Coke and a straw
And causin' more hell to be raised
Oh, people were comin' from all around
Lettin' it all hang out in Company Town
She was spendin' her days at the boardinghouse brewin' coffee and bakin' bread
Thinkin' that if there was nothin' more to life, then she might as well be dead
But at night she put her makeup on and hit that hotel bar
Sippin' drinks and lockin' eyes with that handsome stranger playin' the guitar
And he played «Funkytown» and «Jailhouse Rock»
Folks rocked the boat and around the clock
Until the sunlit night became day
And the only moonshine they ever saw
Was the kind served with Coke and a straw
And causin' more hell to be raised
Oh, people were comin' from all around
Lettin' it all hang out in Company Town
She never told me his name or even where he was from — I was steppin' on sacred
ground
But the gift that my father left me is now what’s makin' me leave Company town
I wanna get out and see the world playin' his old guitar
I reckon wherever he came from to Company Town, at least it got him far
And he played «Funkytown» and «Jailhouse Rock»
Folks rocked the boat and around the clock
Until the sunlit night became day
And the only moonshine they ever saw
Was the kind served with Coke and a straw
And causin' more hell to be raised
Oh, people were comin' from all around
Lettin' it all hang out in Company Town
Ooh, in Company Town
La la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la
Ooh
