Standard (EADGBE)

 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 a pulling weight

 It's the 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

 Cause 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

 You're 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 wanderin' around

And people say our babies are walking...

 Cause 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

 You're making me lie

 Happy alone
