Walkin' Highway
Mike Mareen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sundown an' the day is done
Pushin' on ma achin' feet
Lookin' for a bite to eat
Walkin' on the Highway
Feelin' in a low way

Walkin' Highway 301
Walkin' Highway 301

Nights are cold an' ain't no fun
Pushin' on keep out the cold
Life just makes me feel so old
Walkin' on the Highway
Feelin' in a low way

Walkin' Highway 301
Walkin' Highway 301

Seems that I'm the only one
Charity's no word for me
Down an' outs shouldn't be
Walkin' on the Highway
Feelin' in a low way

Walkin' Highway 301
Walkin' Highway 301

Sunup an' I'm feelin' done
Don' know where I'm walkin' to
Feet are burnin' in ma shoes
Walkin' on the Highway




Feelin' in a low way
Walkin' Highway 301
