My Walking Shoes
I don’t need to lay down on your couch
Don’t need no dojo, kick and shout
Don’t need to buy more stuff, try to fill this hole
Mountains of sugar won’t satisfy my soul

Just need my walking shoes, walk away my blues
Just need my walking shoes to chase my blues away

It’s not hard to feel down in the mouth
Riddled with uncertainty and doubt
Don’t need to be a genius to know the world’s in trouble
In my darkest dreams I see us picking through the rubble

I need my walking shoes, walk away my blues
Just need my walking shoes to chase these blues away

This world is beautiful, so full of wonder
Too many only see the riches they can plunder
I don’t like to think about tomorrow
I fear there is a prospect of more sorrow

I’m waiting for a hint, a clue, a sign the tide is turning
From where I stand right now, everything is burning

I need my walking shoes, walk away my blues
Just need my walking shoes to chase these blues away

Darling let me lay down by your side
I have a little secret to confide
As long as we’re together I’ll still try
In spite of all this madness, it’s alright

Just need my walking shoes, walk away my blues
Just need my walking shoes to chase these blues away

I need my walking shoes, walk away my blues
Just need my walking shoes to chase these blues away
