Walking Man Lyrics Critique (Slow-Rock, 4/4 Beat) Guitar Chords (Dm - Am - C - G) Strum - ( v v v ^ )

by William F
(New Zealand)

(Dm) (Am)
Do you think you know
(C) (G)
the walking mans pain

rags for clothes and
a many a stain

who would open their
home to such a man

thick long dirty hair
and blood on his hands

a guilty conscience
hard battled alone

a load over-encumbered
he carried a long, long way

- chorus -

so walking man
won’t you walk along

Until you find a place
that you can call home

then just keep on walking
and walking some more

pray one day you find the strength
to pick your life up off the floor

Who said the grass is
greener on the other side

picket fence he knows so well
will it hold, just time shall tell




hands trembling dread
the life long fear that the
destination proves unclear

but he’s been through hell
and more somehow

with skin as tough
as diamonds now

- bridge -

oh how
Their sticks and stones they
broke his bones and

left the words to
extinguish his fire

from the ashes rose a
man with a burning desire

- Pause -

and though
less than vague directions
make up his plan

it didn’t matter none
because he bought

a gun and kept on
walking yonder

- chorus -
