Ben Folds Five - Eddie Walker lyrics

Won't you smile, you look so shocked
Put the name tag on your smock
We've come to see ya eddie Walker

And we may pack a little tight
The girl up-front says it's alright
And look there's more of us
Still getting off the bus
We wish you'd come back home with us

Eddie Walker this is your life

This one's you when you were small
And you learning how to walk
They pick you up and you keep falling down

There you are with Aunt Louise
You're bouncing on her knees
Remember all those trees behind the garden?

They're gone
They all got cut down when she died

Eddie Walker this is your life
You never had a son or a wife
You sure had a hell of a time

Eddie Walker this is your life
You never had a son or a wife
You sure had a hell of a time

This one's you and Mary Jo
Well she couldn't come, she says hello
No, Eddie Walker, she doesn't hate your guts
It's just the whole thing shook her up

How they picked you up and
You kept falling down

Eddie Walker this is your life
You never had a son or a wife
You sure had a hell of a time

Eddie Walker this is your life
You never had a son or a wife
You never had a reason to cry

This whole stack, and all of these
For your semester overseas
We're gonna leave ya eddie Walker
