Take A Walk
All these kinds of places Make it seem like it's been ages Tomorrow's sun with buildings scrape the sky I love this country dearly I can feel the lighter clearly But never thought I'd be alone to try Once I was outside Penn station Selling red and white carnations We were still alone, my wife and I Before we marry, save my money Brought my dear wife over Now I want to bring my family state side To rock the boat they sail a while Then scatter cross the coast Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most I took a walk Practice isn't perfect But the market cuts a loss I remind myself that times could be much worse My wife won't ask me questions And there's not so much to ask And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse Once my mother-in-law came, Just to stay a couple nights And decided she would stay the rest of her life I watch my little children, play some board game in the kitchen And I sit and pray they never feel my strife. But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone He made some bad investments Now the counts are overdrawn I took a walk Honey it's your son, I think I borrowed just to much We had taxes we had bills We had a lifestyle of fun And tonight I swear I'll come home And we'll make love like we're young And tomorrow you'll cook dinner For the neighbors and the kids We can rip apart those socialists And all their damn taxes You'll see I am no criminal I'm down on both bad knees I'm just too much a coward To admit when I'm in need I took a walk
