[00:44.73] |
All these kind of places |
[00:46.45] |
Make it seem like it’s been ages |
[00:49.19] |
And tomorrow some new building will scrape the sky |
[00:53.93] |
I love this country dearly |
[00:55.94] |
I can feel the ladder clearly |
[00:58.54] |
But I never thought I’d be alone to try |
[01:01.91] |
|
[01:03.66] |
Once I was outside Penn Station |
[01:06.70] |
Selling red and white carnations |
[01:08.58] |
We were still alone |
[01:09.88] |
My wife and I |
[01:12.90] |
Before we marry, save my money |
[01:15.57] |
Brought my dear wife over |
[01:17.35] |
Now I work to bring my family stateside |
[01:21.20] |
|
[01:22.50] |
But off the boat they stayed a while |
[01:24.77] |
Then scattered across the coast |
[01:27.47] |
Once a year I’ll see them for a week or so |
[01:30.63] |
At most I took a walk |
[01:32.62] |
|
[01:32.80] |
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk |
[01:37.57] |
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh |
[01:40.89] |
I took a walk |
[01:42.31] |
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk |
[01:47.70] |
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh |
[01:49.96] |
|
[01:51.20] |
Practice isn’t perfect |
[01:52.98] |
With the market cuts and loss |
[01:55.54] |
I remind myself that times could be much worse |
[02:00.62] |
My wife won’t ask me questions |
[02:02.84] |
And there's not so much to ask |
[02:04.87] |
And she’ll never flaunt around an empty purse |
[02:08.39] |
|
[02:10.24] |
Once my mother-in-law came |
[02:12.10] |
Just to stay a couple nights |
[02:14.62] |
Then decided she would stay the rest of her life |
[02:19.40] |
I watch my little children |
[02:21.52] |
Play some board game in the kitchen |
[02:24.18] |
And I sit and pray they never feel my strife |
[02:27.73] |
|
[02:28.91] |
But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone |
[02:33.73] |
He made some bad investments |
[02:35.76] |
Now the accounts are overdrawn |
[02:37.91] |
I took a walk |
[02:39.28] |
|
[02:39.32] |
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk |
[02:44.70] |
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh |
[02:47.34] |
I took a walk |
[02:48.82] |
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk |
[02:53.61] |
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh |
[02:56.49] |
|
[02:57.75] |
Honey it’s your son |
[02:59.22] |
I think I borrowed just too much |
[03:02.13] |
We had taxes, we had bills |
[03:03.94] |
We had a lifestyle to front |
[03:06.84] |
And tonight I swear I'll come home |
[03:09.28] |
And we’ll make love like we’re young |
[03:11.71] |
Tomorrow you’ll cook dinner |
[03:13.69] |
For the neighbors and their kids |
[03:16.37] |
We can rip apart those socialists |
[03:18.76] |
And all their damn taxes |
[03:21.22] |
You’ll see I am no criminal |
[03:23.61] |
I’m down on both bad knees |
[03:26.00] |
I’m just too much a coward |
[03:28.18] |
To admit when I’m in need |
[03:29.82] |
|
[03:30.20] |
I took a walk |
[03:31.60] |
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk |
[03:36.35] |
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh |
[03:39.70] |
I took a walk |
[03:41.12] |
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk |
[03:45.89] |
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh |
[03:49.13] |
I took a walk |
[03:50.64] |
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk |
[03:55.36] |
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh |
[03:58.65] |
I took a walk |
[04:00.11] |
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk |
[04:04.90] |
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh |
