All these kinds of places
Make it seem like it's been ages
Tomorrow some new building
will scrape the sky
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 sail a while
Then scatter 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 ohohoh
I Took a walk
Take a walk take a walk
take a walk
Take a walk
ohohohohohoh
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
There is not so much to ask
And she'll never flaunt around
an empty purse
Once my motherinlaw 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 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 ohohoh
I Took a walk
Take a walk take a walk
take a walk
Take a walk
ohohohohohoh
Honey it's this loan I think
I borrowed just too much
We had taxes we had bills
We had a lifestyle of fun
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 can rip apart those socialists
And all their damn taxes
You 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 ohohoh
I Took a walk
Take a walk take a walk
take a walk
Take a walk
ohohohohohoh
Take a walk take a walk
take a walk
Take a walk ohohoh
I Took a walk
Take a walk take a walk
take a walk
Take a walk
ohohohohohoh.
