D                 Bm
I want in like a substitute
                         G
I've been working awful hard for you
         D                   Bm
But you don't say, you just hold your breath
                         G
So I can't touch what I haven't yet
         D              Bm
She's a cold one and it hurts me so
                        G
It's a dark path and a heck of a toll
               D                     Bm        G
And she could kill me just like she did before

             D
We'd be so free-
       Bm
Happy alone
            G
Sharing a smile
             Bm
So far from home

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

Bm                  G          A            D
And people say our babies are walking this town
Bm                  G          A            D
And people say our babies are walking this town
Bm                  G               A          D
And people say our babies are just wanderin' around
Bm                  G          A
And 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
