When I'm Walking
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now when I get off the train and start walking again
That's when I feel like the world is my best friend
When I get out of the car and start walking oh oh
That's when I feel like I was born to in my soul
When I wanna
Yeah, I just wanna
Well
When I get off the train and start walking oooh
Well that's when I feel the way that I was born to in my soul
When I'm walking all around
Just watching my shoes the way they're picking up and down
Well I just roam wherever I will
Well I love the world
So why sit still
Well in fact I don't want automotive help, thank you
I do fine just walking all by myself
And I want nothing 'tween me and the ground
Just wanna wander and walk around
When I get out the car and start walking again
That's when I can tell that I've got the very ground for my own friend
Well when I walk, as I will do
In fact, I don't wish for a ride from you
And I do not walk for exercise
Nor to live among the wise
And I don't want automotive help, thanks
I'll walk fine by myself
And I want nothing 'tween me and the ground
I just wanna wander and walk around, yeah
I want nothing 'tween me and the ground
I just wanna wander and walk around
Like that kinda
