[Verse 1]
|
I woke up early this morning
|
Went downtown and I got a cup of coffee
|
Drink it on up then I got a little jumpy
|
Then I had a thought that I can't remember
|
Walked around town looking down at my shadow
|
Pick up a nickel older than I
|
Gave it to a man who needed a shot of liquor
|
I could tell by the look in his eye
|
Walking around the bus station I saw a young girl
|
Couldn't have been older than 13
|
Smoking a cigarette pregnant and barefoot
|
I said "Hello" she said "The world is mean"
|
|
[Hook]
|
So I kept on walking
|
Taking in the scenery
|
Observing everything
|
And what it means to me
|
Could it be as simple
|
As me just being me
|
Looking for sweet
|
Conformation
|
So I kept on walking
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
To the hardware store
|
Asked the manager for an application
|
And on the way out I threw it in the trash cuz
|
Something in my head said just be patient
|
I saw a bunch of birds on top of the court house
|
Sitting on the edge all in a row
|
If I didn't know better I'd swear they were watching me
|
I think I heard a bird tell another there he goes
|
Then saw a mannequin in the window
|
The prettiest woman that I've ever seen
|
Wearing a green dress and beautiful string of pearls
|
She wasn't interested in me
|
|
[Hook]
|
So I kept on walking
|
Taking in the scenery
|
Observing everything
|
And what it means to me
|
Could it be as simple
|
As me just being me
|
Looking for sweet
|
Conformation
|
So I kept on walking
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
To a seat on a bench on the corner
|
Took a little rest beneath the shady tree
|
'Long came an old lady with a walking cane
|
And she sat down next to me. She said
|
Hey there dreamer how are you doing?
|
Said the doc told her she's 'bout to die
|
And yet she comes here everyday about this time
|
Just to watch the world pass by
|
Gave me a nickel and said this is a fortune
|
Lit a cigarette and said the world is mean
|
Just be patient the birds on the courthouse
|
Serve a purpose like you and me
|
Then I got up and said thank you kindly
|
The the sun broke through the trees
|
And as I turn to walk away she said hey
|
[?]
|
Don't worry 'bout the mannequin she can't see
|
|

So I kept on walking
|
So I kept on walking
|
So I kept on walking
|
So I kept on walking
|
So I kept on walking
|
So I kept on walking
|
So I kept on walking
|
So I kept on walking
