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
