Keep On Walkin'

My eyes are clouded By the ghosts of a different life When as a soldier I fought and cursed and cried And now they're staring At a table brown and bare And they're searching For something that ain't there As the waitress comes and brings me another round I don't say a word, I just stare down at the ground Girl, whatever it is you're thinking Don't you look at me that way Just keep on walkin' My mind's a thousand miles away And I ain't talking About what brought me here today I just wanna be alone in a crowded room Jukebox belting out songs about lovin' and drinkin' Is that such a sin Said she was leaving 'Cause I wasn't the same man And she took our children 'Cause she thinks that's right for them Now I wonder If I sit here long enough Will I discover Why I find it so damn tough To grab the man I was And turn him into me Be the husband the father the friend That I should be Lord knows it's right But it's trapped too deep inside So I keep on walkin' My heart's a thousand miles away And ain't no talking Gonna take this hurt away I wanna be somewhere in a room with you, Dancin' in the way we used to do But I keep on walkin' I've been trapped inside these walls I've built of silence I can't let you in although I have been tryin' I know what you want But I can't do it Ain't got strength enough To get me through it Been holding on too long to let it go God knows But let's go walkin' You've got my heart right in your hand And if we're talkin' Maybe there's a chance Of dancin' once again in a crowded room Jukebox joining as we dream 'bout lovin' and livin' 'Cause I won't give in Let's keep on walkin'
