Coaster Thieves - The Walker Lyrics

Johnny knew what his life was
Drinkin' beers without a buzz
Fishing' from a dusty stream
Open sky beneath a screen

Johnny knew that he became
Everything that was his name
Johnny knew the thing to find
Something not known in his mind

Truth be told he never thought of leavin' home
Just the same he never really thought to stay

In his mind just one line
From his home he'll roam
To cure his blues his walkin' shoes
And he'll stay away

Johnny knew behind his eyes
Lived a man who saw his lies
Lookin' up to where he climbed
Saw the ground he left behind

Johnny knew the change to bear
Who what when how why and where
Johnny knew the rung its cold
Struggled free he loosed his hold

Johnny knew his children old
Pictured tales of life so bold
Touch the sun and beasts he slayed
Verses sung and women laid

Johnny knew now where he'd go
Only that where he was not home
Johnny knew himself in shock
All left to do was simply walk

He'll stay away he'll stay away
No words to talk
All left to do was walk
