john prine - taking a walk lyrics

Loading...

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 antic-p-tion
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 embarr-ssing situation
but a situation just the same
the way she walks on others
and never takes the blame
upsets my const-tution
beyond its mortal frame

i’m taking a walk
(taking a walk)
i’m going outside
(going outside)

i’m watching the birds
(taking a walk)
i’m just getting by
(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’ve 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

i’m taking a walk
(taking a walk)
i’m going outside
(going outside)

i’m taking a walk
(taking a walk)
i don’t need a ride
(just getting by)

i’m watching the birds
(taking a walk)
flying so high
(going outside)
