Your Own Name

Your Own Name

Well, the guy’s got a shiny big black car
And a driver with a silver flask
No matter where they go they don’t get too far
But the driver says he’s up to the task

The guy’s in the back for the length of the ride
Practicing his speech of the day
While the driver mumbles underneath his breath
“Nobody’s gonna hear it anyway”

(Got to) remind yourself
You ain’t like nobody else
Not the guy in the back, not the guy at the wheel
Your own name is how you feel

Now the guy’s legacy is nothing to leave
Cuz’ his reputation is crap
While the driver’s learned how to make a fast turn
With a silver flask in his lap

Now the guy’s serving time on the company dime
Believing that he’s still in charge
And the driver don’t complain that the guy’s insane
Cuz’ he’s the one of the two living large

You can call yourself anything you want
Everyone will be able to tell you’re an idiot savant

You can call yourself anything you want
Everything is the same
No matter the plan or how far you go
You’re right back where you came
