Lyrics:
All these kinds of places
Make it seem like it's been ages
Tomorrowsome new buildingwill scrape the sky
I lovethis country dearly
I can feel the ladder clearly
But I never thought I'd be alone to try
Once I was outside Penn station
Sellingred and white carnations
We were still alone,
My wife and I
Before we marry, save my money
Brought my dearwife over
Now I want to bring my family state side
But off the boat theystayed awhile
Then scattered across the coast
Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most
I tooka walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, (oh-ah-ohhhh)
I take a walk
3. Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk (oh-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Practice isn't perfect
But the market cuts the 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 emptypurse
Once my mother-in-lawcame
Just to staya couple nights
Then decided she would stay the rest of her life
I watch my little children,playsome 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 tooka walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, (oh-ah-ohhhh)
I take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk (oh-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Honey it's your son I thinkI 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
Then tomorrowyou'll cook dinner for the neighbours and theirkids
We can rip apart those socialists and all theirdamn taxes
But 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
4. I tooka walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, (oh-ah-ohhhh)
I take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk (oh-ah-oh-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, (oh-ah-ohhhh)
I take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk (oh-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh)
