[length: 06:10]
[00:28.03]A man came to our house
[00:32.36]I believe it was yesterday
[00:40.35]I would have invited him in
[00:46.09]But I didn’t have a lot to say
[00:49.64]
[00:55.02]His anticipation of me opening the door
[01:01.56]Outweighed my apprehension as it never had before
[01:08.48]And drove my concentration
[01:11.85]Right through that hardwood floor
[01:15.97]Oo-oo, a-ha
[01:21.40]I’m taking a walk
[01:28.47]I’m going outside
[01:35.13]I’m taking a walk
[01:42.00]I’m just getting by
[01:44.04]
[01:55.57]There’s a girl in the white house
[02:00.65]I don’t even know her name
[02:09.12]Her disheveled appearance
[02:14.21]Speaks volumes of shame
[02:17.12]
[02:22.75]It’s an embarrassing situation
[02:25.31]But a situation just the same
[02:29.18]The way she walks on others
[02:32.71]And never takes the blame
[02:35.87]Upsets my constitution
[02:39.18]Beyond its mortal frame
[02:43.19]Oo-oo, a-ha
[02:48.97]I’m taking a walk
[02:50.70](Taking a walk)
[02:55.73]I’m going outside
[02:57.72](Going outside)
[03:02.61]I’m watching the birds
[03:04.59](Taking a walk)
[03:09.30]I’m just getting by
[03:11.25](Just getting by)
[03:16.45]
[04:21.26]Found a card in the pocket
[04:25.45]Of my worn out overalls
[04:34.95]From a girl in Cedar Rapids
[04:39.18]Now residing in Idaho Falls
[04:43.04]
[04:48.42]I wish you could have been there
[04:51.12]When she opened up the door
[04:55.03]And looked me in the face
[04:58.18]Like she never did before
[05:01.94]I felt about as welcome
[05:05.00]As a Wal-Mart Superstore
[05:09.32]Oo-oo, a-ha
[05:13.26]
[05:18.03]I’m taking a walk
[05:19.89](Taking a walk)
[05:24.98]I’m going outside
[05:26.85](Going outside)
[05:31.79]I’m taking a walk
[05:33.53](Taking a walk)
[05:38.77]I don’t need a ride
[05:40.47](Just getting by)
[05:45.55]I’m watching the birds
[05:47.34](Taking a walk)
[05:52.55]Flying so high
[05:54.14](Going outside)
[05:59.00]I’m just getting by
[06:01.07](Taking a walk)
[06:05.88]I’m just getting by
