Lyrics

Tired of Walking

 

They went about it in the wrong way
I'da told em, but it wasn't my job
It's on the news, it's in the paper
What could they've been thinkin of?

I saw em headin out that mornin
I guess I'll never know why
I didn't mean nothin by it
Gave em the finger when they waved goodbye

And it's pretty tragic, pretty gory
I knew em all, personal like
I got the inside story
I'm gonna sell the rights

'Cause I'm tired of walking,
I wanna ride
Tired of walking

This kinda thing,
it's bound to happen
Part of the job, we do it all day

We try not to think about it,
'N of course, it's pretty good pay
But I'm just like anybody,
I got things in my past
No, I won't be specific,
but I can make it go away fast
And I'm tired of walking, I wanna ride
Tired of walking

Last night, just for a moment,
down at the drive-in picture show
I coulda swore I heard em callin
from in the speaker hangin on the door
And they were so real, callin to me
I couldn't quite tell what they said
But up on the screen it was just the movie
It musta all just been in my head

And you can go ahead and
call me a vulture
Call me any kind of name
Nothin sells in this culture
quite like disaster
I'm not to blame,

I'm tired of walking
I wanna ride,
tired of walking

Just to let it burn in the ashtray,
kinda gets old
Waitin 'til they call my number
Just lettin my coffee get cold

I'm tired of walking
Tired of walking

They went about it in the wrong way
I'da told em, but it wasn't my job!
