[Instrumental break]
[Verse 1]
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 cold
And she could kill me like she did before
[Chorus]
Oh we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
[Verse 2]
Push in and I pull it away
It's a 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
[Chorus]
Because we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making a song
Making me lie
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Because we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making a song
Making me lie
