<p>All these kinds of places<br />
Make it seem like it’s been ages<br />
Tomorrow some new building will scrape the sky<br />
I love this country dearly<br />
I can feel the ladder clearly<br />
But I never thought I’d be alone to try</p>
<p>Once I was outside Penn station<br />
Selling red and white carnations<br />
We were still alone,<br />
My wife and I<br />
Before we marry, save my money<br />
Brought my dear wife over<br />
Now I want to bring my family state side</p>
<p>But off the boat they stayed a while<br />
Then scatter cross the coast<br />
Once a year I’ll see them for a week or so at most<br />
I took a walk</p>
<p>Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk<br />
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh<br />
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh<br />
I take a walk<br />
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk<br />
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk</p>
<p>Practice isn’t perfect<br />
With the market cuts and loss<br />
I remind myself that times could be much worse<br />
My wife won’t ask me questions<br />
There is not so much to ask<br />
And she’ll never flaunt around an empty purse</p>
<p>Once my mother-in-law came<br />
Just to stay a couple nights<br />
Then decided she will stay the rest of her life<br />
I watch my little children, play some board game in the kitchen<br />
And I sit and pray they never feel my strife.</p>
<p>But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone<br />
He made some bad investments<br />
Now the accounts are overdrawn</p>
<p>I took a walk<br />
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk<br />
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh<br />
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh<br />
I took a walk<br />
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk<br />
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk</p>
<p>Honey it’s your son I think I borrowed just too much<br />
We had taxes we had bills<br />
We had a lifestyle of fun<br />
And tonight I swear I’ll come home<br />
And we’ll make love like we’re young<br />
And tomorrow you’ll cook dinner<br />
For the neighbors and their kids<br />
We can rip apart those socialists<br />
And all their damn taxes<br />
You see I am no criminal<br />
I’m down on both bad knees<br />
I’m just too much a coward<br />
To admit when I’m in need</p>
<p>I took a walk<br />
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk<br />
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh<br />
Take a walk, oh-oh-oh<br />
I took a walk<br />
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk<br />
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk<br />
I took a walk<br />
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk<br />
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk<br />
I took a walk<br />
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk<br />
Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk</p>
