|
They went about it in the wrong way |
|
I'da told 'em, but it wasn't my job |
|
It's on the news, it's in the paper |
|
What could they've been thinking of? |
|
I saw 'em heading out that morning |
|
I guess I'll never know why |
|
I didn't mean nothing by it |
|
Gave 'em the finger when they waved goodbye |
|
And it's pretty tragic, pretty glory |
|
I knew 'em all, personal like |
|
I got the inside story |
|
I'm gonna sell the rights |
|
'Cause I'm tired of walking, I wanna ride |
|
Tired of walking |
|
This kinda thing, it's bound to happen |
|
Part of the job, we do it all day |
|
We try not to think about it |
|
Of course, it's pretty good pay |
|
But I'm just like anybody |
|
I got things in my past |
|
No, I won't be specific |
|
But I can make it go away fast |
|
And I'm tired of walking, I wanna ride |
|
Tired of walking |
|
Last night just for a moment |
|
Down at the drive-in picture show |
|
I coulda swore, I heard 'em calling |
|
From in the speaker hanging on the door |
|
And they were so real, calling to me |
|
I couldn't quite tell what they've said |
|
But up on the screen it was just the movie |
|
It musta all just been in my head |
|
And you can go ahead and call me a vulture |
|
Call me any kind of name |
|
Nothing sells in this culture |
|
Quite like disaster, I'm not to blame |
|
I'm tired of walking, I wanna ride |
|
Tired of walking |
|
Just to let it burn in the ashtray |
|
Kinda gets old |
|
Waiting 'til they call my number |
|
Just letting my coffee get cold |
|
I'm tired of walking |
|
I'm tired of walking |
|
They went about it in the wrong way |
|
I'da told 'em, but it wasn't my job |
