Jackson Browne
Walking Town
[Verse 1]
One foot after the other
One place pretty much like another
Some folks got a pretty good deal
Some are just looking for their next meal
Out here where the days go by
And the glances never meet the eye
[Chorus]
It's a walking town
And I'm just out here walking 'round
Walking 'round this walking town
[Verse 2]
You got a house on top of a hill
And a powerful automobile
The windows up, the AC high
In a world of comfort speeding by
Stressed out in the latest style
How long has it been since you walked a mile
In yours or anybody else's shoes?
Well, in any life there will be dues
[Chorus]
It's a walking town
And I'm just out here walking 'round
Walking 'round this walking town
[Post-Chorus]
Walking up, walking down
Walking back, walking 'round
Walking mute, walking bound
Walking through your walking town
[Verse 3]
One foot on the concrete shore
One foot in the human sea
Night falls on the streets of the city
And it falls over you and me
And all our dreams and our descriptions
Of the life this was supposed to be
Drift above the rooftops and the houses
Until the sunlight finds me where I lay
[Chorus]
And it's a walking town
And I'm back out here walking 'round
Walking 'round this walking town
[Post-Chorus]
Walking up, walking down
Walking back, walking 'round
Walking mute, walking bound
Walking through this walking town
