Walk Hard
Dewey Cox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down life's rocky road
Walk bold, hard
At my creed, my coal
I've been sworn and slandered and ridiculed too
Had to struggle everyday my whole life through
Seen my share of the worse that this world can give
Walk hard, hard
When they say, "You're all done"
Walk bold, hard
Though they say, "You're not the one"
Even if you've been told time and time again
That you're always gonna lose and you're never gonna win
Gotta keep that vision in your mind's eye
When you're standing on top of a mountain high
You know when I was a boy, folks used to say to me
"Slow down Dewey, don't walk so hard"
And I used to tell them, "Life's a race and I'm in it to win it
And I'll walk as damn hard as I please
How do I walk boys?"
When I meet my maker on my dying day
Gonna look him in the eye and by God I'll say
"I gave my word and my word was good
I took it in the face and I walked as hard as I could"
Walk hard
Walk hard
Walk hard
Walk hard
