Eddie Walker Lyrics - Ben Folds Five

Won't you smile, you look so shocked 

Put the name tag on your smock 

We've come to see you, Eddie Walker 

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 ones you when you were small 

And you're learnin' how to walk 

They'd 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, oh, 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, oh, Eddie Walker, this is your life 

This one's you and Mary Jo 

Well, she couldn't come, she says, hello 

No, Eddie Walker and she doesn't hate your guts 

It's just the whole thing's shook her up 

How they picked you up and you kept falling down 

Eddie Walker, this is your life, no, Eddie Walker, this is your life 

You never had a coat or a tie, you never had a reason to cry 

An' this whole stack and all of these 

Are just a mist or overseas 

We're gonna leave you, Eddie Walker
