Walk Tall

Hey!

I'm talkin' about you

And about those mornings

When before you can get up

You got to push the world off your bed

You know what I'm talkin' about

Or maybe you're down about that phone call

Or maybe that phone call never came, you dig?

'Cause sometimes it be's that way

Well, baby, outside things are happening

And ain't nobody got the time

Or inclination

To stop and listen to your troubles

So I'm gonna give you two choices

Either you crawl back into bed

And pull the world over your head

Or: start walking

And if you're walking anywhere near me, check yourself

'Cause this is what you gotta do, sure now

I ain't shucking or jiving

Walk tall!

Better walk tall with me, boy

Baby, that's what I need

Don't ever fall with me, boy

'Cause, baby, that I don't need

Gonna' walk over this town, yeah

Oh baby, that's what I need

Ain't gonna ever look down, no

Oh baby, that I don't need

Walk tall, when you move out

Walk tall, and there's no doubt

That no one can make you small

Not when you're walking tall

Don't give up when you're down

'Cause, baby, that I don't need

Just walk those blues in the ground, right now

'Cause, baby, that's what I need

Walk tall and you won't fall, baby

You know that's all I need

Just let them know who you are

Oh baby, that's all I need

Walk tall, so they know

That walking tall is the way you go

Walk tall, for all to see

Walk tall, you walk with me

Come on, baby!

Get it together, now!

Look here!

Come on, walk tall!

Hands in the pockets, like you don't care

And don't stop grooving, till you get there
