| Song | Taking a Walk |
| Artist | John Prine |
| Album | Fair & Square |
| 作词 : McLaughlin, Prine | |
| Written：John Prine/Pat Mclaughlin | |
| 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 |
