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
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 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
I'm still crazy when I see your face

We'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh,
Lag till we cried
Making up songs
You're making me lie

People say our babies are walking this town
People say our babies are walking this town
People say our babies are just wandering around
People say our babies are walking

And 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
Making me lie
Happy alone
