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 stateside 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 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 Practice isn't perfect But the market cuts its loss I remindmyself that times could be much worse My wifewon'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 staya 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 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 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 tonightI'll comehome And we'll make lovelike 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 downon both bad knees I'm justtoo much a cowardto admit whenI'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 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
