Well, I've been walkin' around
Mile after mile
And I ain't had new shoes
In a while
And my toenails fell off
A long time ago
But I keep walking
I'll walk on
I'll walk 'til
Both my feet are gone
And there's no more road
In front of me to go
Well, I'm a walkin' man
With the walkin' blues
And a walking joy
That I have too
And I'll see this world
Or I aim to
Step by step by step
Before I am through
I've been through every town
That's got a name
And there ain't no two
That are quite the same
But they all lay blame
When things ain't A-okay
I've been held aloft
And been knocked down
Been called a savior
And a clown
Been given shelter
And been thrown away
Well, I'm a walkin' man
With the walkin' blues
And a walking joy
That I have too
And I'll see this world
Or I aim to
Step by step by step
Before I am through
Someday I may get
Where I'm goin' but
I'll probably pass through
Without knowin' and
I guess Not knowin' is
Alright with me
It's the gettin' there
That's the most the fun
That's why I walk
Instead of run
And if you want to
Then walk along with me
Well, I'm a walkin' man
With the walkin' blues
And a walking joy
That I have too
And I'll see this world
Or I aim to
Step by step by step
Before I am through
If I had rocket boots
To keep the pace
I'd walk across
All outer space
Both side to side
And then back again
But all I got
Is worn out shoes
And a slight case of
The walkin' blues
Which is why I try to walk
My way to Zen
Well, I'm a walkin' man
With the walkin' blues
And a walking joy
That I have too
And I'll see this world
Or I aim to
Step by step by step
Before I am through
Step by step by step
Before I am through
