Take A Walk

All these kinds of places

Make it seem like it's been ages

And tomorrow's sun and buildings scrape the sky

I love this country dearly

I can feel the latter clearly

But I 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 married saved my money

Brought my dear wife over

Now I work to bring my family stateside

Got off the boat they stayed a while

then scattered 'cross the coast

Once I'll year I'll see them for a week or so at most

I took a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

Ohh ohh ohh ohh

I took a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh

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

there's not so much to ask

And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse

What's my mother lacking

Just to stay a couple nights

And decided she would stay the rest of her life

And watch my little children

Play some boardgame 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 accounts are overdrawn

I took a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

Ohh ohh ohh ohh

I took a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh

Honey it's your son I think I borrowed just too much

We had taxes we had bills we had a lifestyle to front

And tonight I swear I'll come home and

we'll make love like we're young

But tomorrow you'll cook dinner

for the neighbors and their kids

We can rip apart the 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

take a walk take a walk take a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

Ohh ohh ohh ohh

I took a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh

I took a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

Ohh ohh ohh ohh

I took a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

take a walk take a walk take a walk

Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
