Take A Walk (acoustic)

All these kinds of places make it seem like it's been ages And tomorrow's sun and buildings 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 married, saved my money, brought my dear wife over Now I work to bring my family stateside Got off the boat, they stayed a while then scattered 'cross the coast Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most I took a walk (Take a walk x3) take a walk, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh I took a walk (Take a walk x3) take a walk, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh 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, 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 boardgame 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 x3) take a walk, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh I took a walk (Take a walk x3) take a walk, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh "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 the socialists and all their damn taxes You 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 x3) take a walk, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh I took a walk (Take a walk x3) take a walk, ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
