I'll be alone till you're high
Once I was outside at the station
Celebrating the night carnations
You still know my wife and I
Falling every single night
Runnin' from my dear life
For the better
But you break my family's stateside
And I think from what they say
The world is gallant across the coast
Once a year I'll see them
Pull a week or so at those times
Take the one, take the one, take the one
Cry until she's completely
But goodbye because of us
I remind myself that times could be much worse
My wife won't ask me questions
There's not so much to ask
And I should never fear
To lie in an empty place
Once my mind will lock you
Just to stay a couple nights
And decide that she will stay
The rest of her life
I watch my religion
There's a book in my collection
And I see it and quit
They never fear my strife
Then my father called
To say the pension funds were gone
We made some bad investments
Now the counts are over, John
I take the one, take the one, take the one
Take the one, take the one, take the one
Honey, it's your son
I think about it just too much
We had taxes, we had bills
We had a lifestyle of fun
And tonight I swear I'll come home
I'm gonna make love like we're young
