作词 : McLaughlin, Prine | |

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 | |
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 |
