All these kinds of places Make it seem like it's been ages
Tomorrow's sun with buildings scrape the sky
I love this country dearly I can feel the lighter clearly
But 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
To rock 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
Practice isn't perfect But the market cuts a 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
And 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 counts are overdrawn
I took 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 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 the 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
