[00:44.73]All these kind of places
[00:46.45]Make it seem like it’s been ages
[00:49.19]And tomorrow some new building will scrape the sky
[00:53.93]I love this country dearly
[00:55.94]I can feel the ladder clearly
[00:58.54]But I never thought I’d be alone to try
[01:01.91]
[01:03.66]Once I was outside Penn Station
[01:06.70]Selling red and white carnations
[01:08.58]We were still alone
[01:09.88]My wife and I
[01:12.90]Before we marry, save my money
[01:15.57]Brought my dear wife over
[01:17.35]Now I work to bring my family stateside
[01:21.20]
[01:22.50]But off the boat they stayed a while
[01:24.77]Then scattered across the coast
[01:27.47]Once a year I’ll see them for a week or so
[01:30.63]At most I took a walk
[01:32.62]
[01:32.80]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[01:37.57]Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
[01:40.89]I took a walk
[01:42.31]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[01:47.70]Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
[01:49.96]
[01:51.20]Practice isn’t perfect
[01:52.98]With the market cuts and loss
[01:55.54]I remind myself that times could be much worse
[02:00.62]My wife won’t ask me questions
[02:02.84]And there's not so much to ask
[02:04.87]And she’ll never flaunt around an empty purse
[02:08.39]
[02:10.24]Once my mother-in-law came
[02:12.10]Just to stay a couple nights
[02:14.62]Then decided she would stay the rest of her life
[02:19.40]I watch my little children
[02:21.52]Play some board game in the kitchen
[02:24.18]And I sit and pray they never feel my strife
[02:27.73]
[02:28.91]But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone
[02:33.73]He made some bad investments
[02:35.76]Now the accounts are overdrawn
[02:37.91]I took a walk
[02:39.28]
[02:39.32]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[02:44.70]Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
[02:47.34]I took a walk
[02:48.82]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[02:53.61]Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
[02:56.49]
[02:57.75]Honey it’s your son
[02:59.22]I think I borrowed just too much
[03:02.13]We had taxes, we had bills
[03:03.94]We had a lifestyle to front
[03:06.84]And tonight I swear I'll come home
[03:09.28]And we’ll make love like we’re young
[03:11.71]Tomorrow you’ll cook dinner
[03:13.69]For the neighbors and their kids
[03:16.37]We can rip apart those socialists
[03:18.76]And all their damn taxes
[03:21.22]You’ll see I am no criminal
[03:23.61]I’m down on both bad knees
[03:26.00]I’m just too much a coward
[03:28.18]To admit when I’m in need
[03:29.82]
[03:30.20]I took a walk
[03:31.60]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[03:36.35]Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
[03:39.70]I took a walk
[03:41.12]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[03:45.89]Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
[03:49.13]I took a walk
[03:50.64]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[03:55.36]Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
[03:58.65]I took a walk
[04:00.11]Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk
[04:04.90]Take a walk, Oh-oh-oh
