Won't you smile, you look so shocked
By the nametag on your smock
We've come to see you, Eddie Walker
You may pack a little tight
The girl up front says 'it's allright'
Look there's more of us
Still gettin' off the bus
We wish you'd come back home with us
Eddie Walker, this is your life
This one's you when you were small
You were learnin' how to walk
They pick you up when you came fallin' down
There you are with Aunt Louise
Your bouncin' on her knees
Remember all those trees
Behind the garden, they're gone
They all got cut down when she died
Eddie Walker, this is your life
You never had a son or a wife
You sure had a hell of a time
Oh Eddie Walker, this is your life
This one's you and Mary Jo
But she couldn't come, she says 'Hello'
No, Eddie Walker, she doesn't hate your guts
It's just the whole thing shook her up
How they picked you up and you kept fallin' down
Oh Eddie Walker, this is your life
You never wore a coat or a tie
You never had a reason to cry
This whole stack and all of these
Your semester overseas
We're gonna leave you
Eddie Walker
