Lyrics
Walkin'
Trent Walker/
Ed Fingerling
Crawled across that hard wood floor in Clinton
Got a splinter in my hand, but I wasn't quittin'
I was a roly-poly kid, they nicknamed Tub
With the help of Mamma's knees I pulled myself up
Took a couple steps, then a couple more
Then I was headed 'cross the living room floor
Chorus
I was walkin
Walking, walkin', walkin'
Walkin' with my head held high
The apple of my Mama's eye
Long before you were talkin'
I was walkin'
Mama came home from work and
Caught Daddy cheating
She threw him out on the curb
And that's the last time I'd see him
I was a skinny little kid, they nickname Red
I shared a room with my sister
And a set of bunk beds
But, the very day I turned sixteen
I grabbed my guitar and I hit the streets
Chorus
I was walkin'
Walkin', walkin', walkin'
Walkin' with my head held high
The apple of my Mama's eye
Long before you were talkin'
I was walkin'
Bridge
Well, you may be richer, but money can't get ya
What was born inside of me
2nd Bridge
There's no going back, once I'm rollin' down the track
Nothing stands in my way
Chorus
