Loading...

[verse 1]
it’s a long walk to d.c., but i got my walkin’ shoes on
(all the way to washington)
i can’t take a plane, bus, or train
’cause my money ain’t that long

[verse 2]
america, we believe (we believe)
oh, that you love us dear (love us dear)
so, people, i’m going over yonder (yeah)
to wipe away my tears, i tell you

[hook]
it’s a long walk to d.c., but i’m on my way
ooh yes, i am (long walk to d.c.)
ooh yeah, but i know i’ll make it someday

[verse 3]
i know it’s a whole lot of rocks and rears
before i make it there (gotta be movin’ on)
shoulda been goin’ on yesterday
but today i’m leavin’ here
i got a dime for some coffee (yeah)
got a dime to buy me a cake (oh yeah)
i gotta see the president
(comin’ through alabama, mississippi, tennessee)
it don’t matter what it takes, i tell you

[hook]
it’s a long walk to d.c., but i’m on my way
yes, i am (long walk to d.c.)
ooh yeah, but i know i’ll make it someday

[refrain]
i know it’s a whole lot of rocks and rears
before i make it there (gotta be movin’ on)
shoulda been goin’ on yesterday
but today i’m leavin’ here
i got a dime for some coffee (yeah)
got a dime to buy me a cake (oh yeah)
i gotta see the president
(comin’ through alabama, mississippi, tennessee)
it don’t matter what it takes, i tell you

[hook]
it’s a long walk to d.c., but i’m on my way
oh, you wanna hear me now (long walk to d.c.)
ooh yeah, but i know i’ll make it someday

[outro]
gonna step outta jackson (gotta keep movin’ on)
mississippi town (keep movin’, movin’)
through alabama (gotta keep movin’ on)
oh, you know i’m milfus bound (i’m movin’, movin’)
north carolina (gotta keep movin’ on)
virginia, too (i’m movin’, movin’)
i gotta set my feet now (gotta keep movin’ on)
oh, on the national ground (i’m movin’, movin’)
yeah (gotta keep movin’ on)
oh yeah
