Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A man came to our house
I believe it was yesterday
I would have invited him in
But I didn't have a lot to say
[Verse 2]
His anticipation of me opening the door
Outweighed my apprehension as it never had before
And drove my concentration
Right through that hardwood floor
[Verse 3]
Oo-oo a-ha
I'm taking a walk
I'm going outside
I'm taking a walk
I'm just getting by
[Verse 4]
There's a girl in the white house
I don't even know her name
Her disheveled appearance
Speaks volumes of shame
[Verse 5]
It's an embarrassing situation
But a situation just the same
The way she walks on others
And never takes the blame
Upsets my constitution
Beyond its mortal frame
[Verse 6]
Oo-oo a-ha
I'm taking a walk (Taking a walk)
I'm going outside (Going outside)
I'm watching the birds (Taking a walk)
I'm just getting by (Just getting by)
[Verse 7]
Found a card in the pocket
Of my worn out overalls
From a girl in Cedar Rapids
Now residing in Idaho Falls
[Verse 8]
I wish you could have been there
When she opened up the door
And looked me in the face
Like she never did before
I felt about as welcome
As a Wal-Mart Superstore
[Verse 9]
Oo-oo a-ha
I'm taking a walk (Taking a walk)
I'm going outside (Going outside)
I'm taking a walk (Taking a walk)
I don't need a ride (Just getting by)
I'm watching the birds (Taking a walk)
Flying so high (Going outside)
I'm just getting by (Taking a walk)
I'm just getting by
