I want in like a substitute
I've been workin' 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 [bad word] 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 'til we cried
Making up songs
And making me lie

And people say our babies are wandering this town
And people say our babies are wandering 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 'til we cried
Making up songs
And making me lie

Happy alone
