Taking a Walk Lyrics

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
Oh, uh-huh

[Chorus]
I'm taking a walk
I'm going outside
I'm taking a walk
I'm just gettin' back

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 motor frame
Oh, uh-huh
[Chorus]

Found a carton departed
Of my worn out overalls
From a girl in Cedar Rapids
Now residing in Idaho Falls
I wish you could've 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
Oh, uh-huh
I'm taking walk (Taking a walk)
I'm going outside (Going outside)
I'm taking a walk (Taking a walk)
I don't need a ride (Just getting by)
I'm watching the birds (Taking a walk)
Flying so high (Going outside....)
