Lyrics
WALKING TO TOWN
Verse 1: I'm out of gas on the interstate.
It's hot out here, and I'm gon' be late.
Walking to town, I got time to think
How wrong attitude drives me to the brink.
Chorus: Walking to town, glad for these two feet.
Who knows where this road I'm on's gonna lead.
What in the world is waiting for me?
I'm walking to town toward my destiny.
Verse 2: Got th' gas; headed on back.
Offered a ride, but I said, "I can't,
'Cause walking to town was so enlightening,
I need to see where a full can will lead."
Chorus: Walking from town, glad for these two feet.
Who knows where this road I'm on's gonna lead.
What in the world is waiting for me
Wa-wa-wa-walking.
Bridge: Run out of gas, did it save me... from a wrong turn or some tragedy?
Sky's clear even under a cloud when I don't resist walking to to-o-o-own.
Instrumental
Outro: Walking to town. Wa-wa-walking to town.
Empty tank's no problem now
When I'm wa-wa-walking to town.
