Lyrics
The train stops on the corner and a young man steps outside
The year is 1913 and he heads home to his bride
He's got ten cents in his pocket hard times are here to stay
But he dances home each evening he knows he's free from harm
He's got someone he can count on the woman on his arm
It's New York in the '20s got a funny president
Now a dollar's in your pocket but they're raising up the rent
Got a baby in the carriage and a hundred dollar car
But the boss has seen your promise he likes your sporting charm
And he couldn't help but praise you for the woman on your arm
She had a certain style through all those early years
A certain air of serenity behind her hidden fears
And then a chance to travel comes after all those years
Your business now is taking you to different hemispheres
Now the bills they line your pockets your acquaintances are great
But you take it all so lightly there's no need for alarm
'Cause she's right there beside you the woman on your arm
Together you've seen wars fought with trouble on both sides
Seen happiness and tragedy pass right before your eyes
You're both still getting stronger as anyone can see
The kids are all grown up now and you don't see much of me
It's a far cry from the train stop and the boss has long been gone
But the story hasn't ended I'm not spinning some old yarn
'Cause she's still there beside you the woman on your arm
