Walking AlongI got nights I don’t close my eyes
I said I got nights I don’t close my eyes When the stillness is what I despise So I go wherever I think is swell And I call my friends and a cheap hotel And we plot to find a trip that’ll treat us well I got a problem of a thirsty mind And when life gets dry it can get unkind Satisfaction is so hard to find I got a woman and she knows my name I said I got a woman with her love proclaimed and you know truly I love her all the same But when she wakes up in the morning and her lover’s not in bed She will know that I am gone And when she turns to say good morning and she sees that I have fled She will know, oh she will know I’ve been out drinking Well don’t be shy now Let your manners go The sun will be up soon ain’t no impetus to take it slow when you’re a workin’ man you gotta free your hands That’s why when sleep came for me tonight I hopped up and ran So if you feel me and you feel like coming unbound well here’s to you my friend cause tonight we’re getting down Walking Walking along the way Trying to find my soul And you are so very far away You are so very far Oh I’m walking Walking home to say I’ve acted so selfishly But you probably are far away Pissed off and thinking it’s a sign Well it’s almost noon and I’m almost home I been tryin’ to call my woman’s phone and I’m thinking She’s given up on me Then I reach my block and I see her car And I run inside having come so far And she’s in the kitchen making coffee And she says baby why’d you leave again? You missed a crazy time We went out downtown and met the president And he came back with us to party Where were you for all this time? Don’t you know? You always go And you miss the best things |
