But I had to learn for myself
And you said, "They'll never change a thing
Well, they won't fight and they're not working"
With the general workers union
And you, you tried to tell me
But I left you on the debris
You was looking for a bargain
There's more trouble at the depot
At the top of the stairs
I heard your footsteps at the front door
You were sorting through the odds and ends
I went there and back
And that old familiar love song
Now we both know you got no money
'Cause you knew you'd find me waiting there
Just to see how far it was
Oh, you was my hero
How you are my good friend
And I know how far it is
I've been there and back
And I wonder what you would have done
