Taking a Walk |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| O 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 |
| O 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 |
