All these kind of places
Make it seem like it’s been ages
And 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 work to bring my family stateside
But off the boat they stayed a while
Then scattered across 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
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
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
And 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 would 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, Oh-oh-oh
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
Honey it’s your son
I think I borrowed just too much
We had taxes, we had bills
We had a lifestyle to front
And tonight I swear I'll come home
And we’ll make love like we’re young
Tomorrow you’ll cook dinner
For the neighbors and their kids
We can rip apart those 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
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
I took a walk
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
