Take a Walk

All these kinds of places
Make it seem like it's been ages
Tomorrow's Sun with buildings scraping skies
I love this country dearly
I can feel the ladder 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 marry, save my money
Brought my dear wife over
Now I want to bring my family state side

But off the boat they stayed awhile
Then scattered 'cross 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, take a walk
I take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk (oh-oh-oh)
Take a walk, take a walk

Practice isn't perfect
But the market cuts its 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

Once my mother-in-law came just to stay a couple nights
Then decided she will stay the rest of her life
I watch my little children play some board game in the kitchen
And 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 (oh-oh-oh)
Take a walk, take a walk
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk (oh-oh-oh)
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 of fun
But I swear tonight 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 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 (oh-oh-oh)
Take a walk, take a walk
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk (oh-oh-oh)
Take a walk, take a walk
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk (oh-oh-oh)
Take a walk, take a walk
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk (oh-oh-oh)
Take a walk, take a walk
