Eddie Walker - Ben Folds Five

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
