An uptempo rockin' tune about standing proud and following your own path. Think Del Amitri meets John Hiatt.

Lyrics

I sat behind Jolene and she was in my dream
When the teacher's chalk flew
He had me up on trial a man against a child
But when she defended me I knew
She was on my side I filled up with pride takin' the fall

But I kept walking tall
I've been walking tall
I'll keep walking tall
When the chips fall

I played hard on Wall Street while she kept me on my feet
Loyal as a love song
One day I quit the team chasin' my own dream
To a place where I belong
I've turned my life around breakin' new ground
as I give it my all

I keep walking tall
I've been walking tall
I'll keep walking tall
When the chips fall

What it is to do or die
Is to talk it out and let it out
Work it out and shout it out
To be your own, your own man
And never have to crawl
I keep waking tall

Travellin' a different road learnin' the souls code
Takes forever to acheive
But I still stop and laugh with my better half
She's the one that I believe
Win or lose, it's what you choose
And I'm having a ball

So I keep walking tall
I've been walking tall
I'll keep walking tall
When the chips fall
