Lyrics
Walkin? Song
Jeanie?s got a backpack on her back,
She?s got a can o? ginger ale and a blackjack.
She?s wearin? boots made of leather and a red rose,
And she doesn?t even care where she goes, where she goes,
She?s walkin? and walkin? and walkin?
Walkin? and walkin.
Walkin? and walkin? and walkin?,
Uh Uh.
Checkin? out the sights down at Hastings and Main,
She?s gettin? washed by the sun after all that rain.
And there?s a junkie in the alley with a big smile,
If you wanna see it all it takes a while, takes a while,
She?s walkin? and walkin? and walkin?,
Walkin? and walkin?.
Walkin? and walkin? and walkin?,
Uh-Uh.
Hey there she goes,
Cruisin? by the auto show.
Hey there you are,
Drivin? in your car,
And she?s walkin?....
Jeanie?s got a wristband, an all-day pass,
She?s gotta get on every ride or she won?t last,
She?s got a rootless swagger and a stereo,
If you wanna see it all you gotta go go go go go ,
She?s walkin? and walkin? and walkin?,
Walkin? and walkin?.
Walkin? and walkin? and walkin,
uh-uh.
Repeat chorus 2 more times.
