[Verse 1]
Moving in sile
nt desperation
Keeping an eye
on the Holy L
and
A hypothetical
destination
Say, who is th
is walking man
?
Well, the leav
es have come t
o turning
And the goose
has gone to fl
y
And bridges ar
e for burning
So don't you l
et that yearni
ng pass you by
[Chorus 1]
Walking man,
walking man wa
lks
Well, any othe
r man stops an
d talks
But the walkin
g man walks
[Verse 2]
Well, the fros
t is on the pu
mpkin
And the hay is
in the barn
An' Pappy's co
me to rambling
on
Stumbling arou
nd drunk down
on the farm
[Chorus 2]
And the walkin
g man walks, h
e doesn't know
nothing at al
l
Well, any othe
r man stops an
d talks
But the walkin
g man walks on
by
Walk on by
[Bridge]
Most everyb
ody's got seed
to sow
N.C.

It ain't alway
s easy for a w
eed to grow, n
#
o
So he don't ho
e the row for
no one
[Verse 3]
For sure one's
always missin
g
And something
is never quite
right
Ah, but who wo
uld want to li
sten to you
Kissing his ex
istence good n
ight
Walking man
walk on by
my door
Well, any othe
r man stops an
d talks
But not the wa
lking man
He's the walki
ng man,
born to wa
lk
Walk on walkin
g man
Well now, woul
d he have wing
s to fly
Would he be fr
ee, golden win
gs against the
sky
Walking man, w
alk on by
So long, walki
ng man, so lon
g
