Walkin' Home

Crowds on the sidewalk Taxis on the street Ol' man at the bus stop Hope he finds a seat Trucks on the turnpike Freight trains on the track I'm leavin' this mean ol' city I won't be comin' back I'm just walkin' Walkin' home I'm just walkin' Walkin' home Cane in the field Crows on the wire Woman by the roadside Changin' a flat tire Sunrise on the bayou Young boy fishin' in a catfish pond Tugboats on the river River's rollin' on I'm just walkin' Walkin' home I'm just walkin' Walkin' home Didn't write one letter Didn't send a telegram Couldn't pick up a telephone Just wanna say, "Here I am" I been walkin' Walkin' home, woo Temperature's risin' I got fats on the box With gravel in my shoes An' sand in my socks I'm just walkin' Walkin' home I'm just walkin' Walkin' home Comin' home Walkin', walkin' I'm walkin' home
