[Intro]
So I'm walking down the road
No one else will take my load
So I will

[Verse 1]
Everyone is laughing, baby
And everyone is patting their own backs
But every stone and every stick
And every bone
And every half-hearted
But at least a half-attempted half-truth
Will come back to stand with you
When you're alone
Alright, then

[Verse 2]
There is one thing I forgot to tell you
There is one thing I forgot to say
And if I have the guts to say it
I'm afraid the place where we go to get lost
Would get lost

[Pre-Chorus]
And so I'm walking down the road
I'm crying, baby
I walked all the way to Whitby
People honk at me
I shake my fist, sometimes give them the finger
I don't know why I always lie to you
[Chorus]
'Cause Barkis always tells the truth
Barkis never lies
Barkis is always willing
Well, will you marry me awhile?
