Walking Song [Live] lyrics

Wouldn't it be nice to walk together

Baring our souls while wearing out the leather?

We could talk shop, harmonize a song

Wouldn't it be nice to walk along?

I'll show you houses of architectural renown

Some are still standing, some have fallen down

Farm houses buried under Canada's snow

Spanish villas on the boulevards of Mexico

And I'll learn to tell the ash from the oak

And if you don't know the difference, I won't make

no joke

We'll climb to the top and view the world from above

Carve our initials in the trunk, like teenagers in love

And when we get hungry, we'll stop to eat

Gotta think of our stomachs and rest our feet

And when we get thirsty, we'll have a drink or two

In a mountain top bar with a mountain top view

And when we get tired, we'll stop to rest

And if you still wanna talk, well, you can bare your breast

If it's winter and cold, we'll take a rooming house room

If it's summer and warm, we'll sleep under the moon

And we'll talk about the sports we played

'Bout the time you got busted, or the times I got laid

We'll talk blood and how we were bred

And talk about the folks, both living and dead

This song, like this walk, I find hard to end

Be my lover and be my friend

In sneakers or boots or regulation shoes

Walking beside ya, I'll never get the walking blues
