I want in like a substitute
I've been working awful hard for you
But you don't say
You just hold your breath
So I can't touch what I haven't yet
She's a cold one and it hurts me so
It's a dark path and a heck of a toll
And she could kill me just like she did before
We'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
Pushing and pulling weight
It's a hard part but the true love way
Girl you're wanted like a wanted man
With your smart mouth and your killer hand
We could both share all that I have made
For a young man, it's a heck of a wage
And I feel crazy when I see your face
'Cos we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile so far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cried
Making up songs
And making me lie
And people say our babies are walking this town
And people say our babies are walking this town
And people say our babies are just wandering around
And people say our babies, they're walking?
We'd be so free
Happy alone
sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cried
Making up songs
And making me lie
Happy alone
