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