Jackson Browne lyrics : "Walking Town"

(Browne, McCormick, Goldenberg, Lewak & Young)

One foot after the other

One place pretty much like another
Some folks got a pretty good deal
Some are just looking for their next meal

Out here where the days go by
And the glances never meet the eye
It's a walking town

And I'm just out here walking 'round
Walking 'round this walking town


You got a house on top of a hill
And a powerful automobile
The windows up, the AC high

In a world of comfort speeding by
Stressed out in the latest style
How long has it been since you walked a mile

In yours or anybody else's shoes
Well, in any life there will be dues
It's a walking town

And I'm just out here walking 'round
Walking 'round this walking town


Walking up, walking down
Walking back, walking 'round
Walking mute, walking bound

Walking through your walking town

One foot on the concrete shore

One foot in the human sea
Night falls on the streets of the city
And it falls over you and me

And all our dreams and our descriptions
Of the life this was supposed to be
Drift above the rooftops and the houses

Until the sunlight finds me where I lay
And it's a walking town
And I'm back out here walking 'round

Walking 'round this walking town
