Lyrics

I'm walking down the road feeling fine
Well I'm walking down following the
Yellow line all the time
Well my fate is such that if I stop
It will be the end of the line

So I keep on walking, to turn my life around
And I keep on talking, yeah, in my mind

Well I don't know how long I can keep on going
So many miles I've been strollin'
People go, people pass, in their cars
Running late going fast

So I keep on walking, to turn my life around
And I keep on talking, yeah, in my mind

If I stop too long from my walking
I will never see the sun rise again
I must keep on this road that I must follow
Cause if I don't there will be no tomorrow

So I keep on walking, to turn my life around
And I keep on talking, yeah, in my mind
