Taking A Walk lyrics
Song information
Artist: John Prine Album: Fair And Square
Lyrics
A man came to our house I believe it was yesterday I would have invited him in But I didn't have a lot to say
His anticipation of me opening the door Outweighed my apprehension as it never had before And drove my concentration Right through that hardwood floor
Oo-oo a-ha I'm taking a walk I'm going outside I'm taking a walk I'm just getting by
There's a girl in the white house I don't even know her name Her disheveled appearance Speaks volumes of shame
It's an embarrassing situation But a situation just the same The way she walks on others And never takes the blame Upsets my constitution Beyond its mortal frame
Oo-oo a-ha I'm taking a walk I'm going outside I'm watching the birds I'm just getting by
Found a card in the pocket Of my worn out overalls From a girl in cedar rapids Now residing in idaho falls
I wish you could have been there When she opened up the door And looked me in the face Like she never did before I felt about as welcome As a wal-mart superstore
0O-oo - a-ha I'm taking a walk I'm going outside I'm taking a walk I don't need a ride
I'm watching the birds Flying so high
