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
