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 k** 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 k**er 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 cry
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, they're 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 cry
Making up songs
You're making me lie
Happy alone
