Watch You Walk Away Lyrics

We had ourselves a once upon a time
I rocked the craddle, put the sheets out on the line
But things like that don't stick around
That cradle stopped rocking and that line came on down
These late night shifts don't pay
And you can't make it by on a dollar a day
So I'm doing me and you a favor
I'm going to watch you walk away
We had no steaks, we had no chardonnay
But those hot dogs and beans tasted AOK
No diamonds, no big screen TV
But that was alright by me
These late night shifts don't pay
And you can't make it by on a dollar a day
So I'm doing me and you a favor

I'm going to watch you walk away
Send my regards downtown
Make sure that you can keep both those feet on the ground
And tell me that you'll be alright
And I'll tell you that I'll be OK
But these late night shifts don't pay
And you can't make it by on a dollar a day
So I'm doing me and you a favor
I'm going to watch you walk away
