Watch You Walk Away

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
