A Long Walk

Founded in Seventeen Seventy Six Between the Seventh Inning Stretch and The Seven Year Itch As the Seven Nation Army plays all of the hits Seventy Six Trombones will blow the opening pitch So little girl what brings you to this country of ours Is your head in the clouds, is your eyes on the stars As you go for a ride in a new foreign car To tour through the streets 'til you find the next bar And you just can't stop once the taste hits your lips All your friends watch as you wade in past your hips Now your family back home tries to get you a grip They all just wish that you'd snap out of it Well, you don't know what you're doing Can't you see that you're in way above your head Despite what you might think And you don't know what you're saying You thought you'd found a friend to lend a hand But, it's a long walk for a short drink Yes, I'm a long walk for a short drink Be careful, my dear, this town likes you best on your knees But once you learn how to kneel it can be easy to please In the home of the brave and the land of the free Where the rich are entitled and the poor are appeased So little girl what brings you to this city of mine I hope you're ready to hide all the riches you find Cause everything around you turns on a dime And you must pawn your watch just to be given the time And you just can't stop once the taste hits your lips All your friends watch as you wade in past your hips Now your family back home tries to get you a grip They all just wish that you'd snap out of it Well, you don't know what you're doing Can't you see that you're in way above your head Despite what you might think And you don't know what you're saying You thought you'd found a friend to lend a hand But, it's a long walk for a short drink Well, you just can't stop once the taste hits your lips All your friends watch as you wade in past your hips Now your family back home tries to get you a grip They all just wish that you'd snap out of it Well, you don't know what you're doing Can't you see that you're in way above your head Despite what you might think And you don't know what you're saying You thought you'd found a friend to lend a hand But, it's a long walk for a short drink Yes, I'm a long walk for a short drink Yes, you're a long walk from a short drink
