Big cities and small hic towns
Make you smile, make you frown
Deep stories are where I’m bound
The whole wide world is a hand-me-down
Walk in the sun, if that’s what you need
I walk in the shade, that’s the way I’m made
You say it’s there for the takin’ it
I say we’re better off leavin’ it
Walk through the past into the future
Blocked out in a gridded nature
Grow fast, can’t carry no water
Grow slow, for the sons and daughters
Walk in the sun, if that’s what you need
I walk in the shade, that’s the way I’m made
You say it’s there for the takin’ it
I say we’re better off leavin’ it
Some days you mean well
Some days you mean well
Some days you mean well
Some days you’re just mean
Walk in the sun, if that’s what you need
I walk in the shade, that’s the way I’m made
You say it’s there for the takin’ it
I say we’re better off leavin’ it
Walk in the sun, if that’s what you need
I walk in the shade, that’s the way I’m made
You say it’s there for the takin’ it
I say we’re better off leavin’ it
I say we’re better off leavin’ it
