Kept On Walking - Rehab.mp3

[00:08.980]I woke up early this morning
[00:10.680]Went downtown and
[00:11.750]I got a cup of coffee
[00:12.770]Drink it on up then
[00:13.730]I got a little jumpy
[00:14.980]Then I had a thought that
[00:16.180]I can't remember
[00:17.400]Walked around town looking down at my shadow
[00:19.650]Pick up a nickel older than
[00:20.880]I Gave it to a man who needed a shot of liquor
[00:24.600]I could tell by the look in his eye
[00:26.230]Walking around the bus station
[00:27.580]I saw a young girl
[00:28.370]Couldn't have been older than 13
[00:30.720]Smoking a cigarette pregnant and barefoot
[00:33.380]I said "Hello" she said "The world is mean"
[00:35.100]So I kept on walking
[00:36.910]Taking in the scenery
[00:39.430]Observing everything
[00:41.600]And what it means to me
[00:43.660]Could it be as simple
[00:45.750]As me just being me
[00:48.320]Looking for sweet
[00:49.380]Conformation
[00:52.670]So I kept on walking
[00:53.320]To the hardware store
[00:55.140]Asked the manager for an application
[00:57.400]And on the way out
[00:58.110]I threw it in the trash cuz
[00:59.470]Something in my head said just be patient
[01:01.800]I saw a bunch of birds on top of the court house
[01:03.830]Sitting on the edge all in a row
[01:06.300]If I didn't know better
[01:06.980]I'd swear they were watching me
[01:08.660]I think I heard a bird tell another there he goes
[01:10.900]Then saw a mannequin in the window
[01:12.550]The prettiest woman that
[01:13.850]I've ever seen
[01:14.660]Wearing a green dress and beautiful string of pearls
[01:17.590]She wasn't interested in me
[01:19.320]So I kept on walking
[01:21.290]Taking in the scenery
[01:23.720]Observing everything
[01:25.740]And what it means to me
[01:27.780]Could it be as simple
[01:30.150]As me just being me
[01:32.150]Looking for sweet
[01:34.310]Conformation
[01:37.300]So I kept on walking
[01:38.320]To a seat on a bench on the corner
[01:39.310]Took a little rest beneath the shady tree '
[01:41.580]Long came an old lady with a walking cane
[01:44.100]And she sat down next to me.
[01:45.880]She said Hey there dreamer how are you doing?
[01:48.150]Said the doc told her she's 'bout to die
[01:50.330]And yet she comes here everyday about this time
[01:53.000]Just to watch the world pass by
[01:55.100]Gave me a nickel and said this is a fortune
[01:57.350]Lit a cigarette and said the world is mean
[01:59.620]Just be patient the birds on the courthouse
[02:02.300]Serve a purpose like you and me
[02:03.780]Then I got up and said thank you kindly
[02:06.800]Then the sun broke through the trees
[02:08.280]And as I turn to walk away she said hey
[02:12.690]Don't worry 'bout the mannequin she can't see
[02:21.460]So I kept on walking
