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 latter 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 married, saved my money

Brought my dear wife over

Now I want to bring my family state side

But off the boat they stayed a while

Then scattered across the coast

Once a 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, oh-oh-oh

Take a walk, oh-oh-oh

I take a walk

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Practice isn't perfect

With the market cuts and 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

Then 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

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Take a walk, oh-oh-oh

Take a walk, oh-oh-oh

I took a walk

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Honey it's your son I think I borrowed just to 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

And tomorrow you'll cook dinner

For the neighbors and their kids

We could 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

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Take a walk, oh-oh-oh

Take a walk, oh-oh-oh

I took a walk

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

I took a walk

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

I took a walk

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk

Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
