Gone Walkin'

Lyrics/Music: Don de Leaumont

Hung a sign on my door, but whatever for?

To tell everybody I couldn't take no more.

Not much did it say, but in it's own little way.

Three words loud and clear helped to close out my day.

        I've gone walkin' for a while, cuz it always makes me smile.

        Share a smile with strangers as they pass me by.

        It always amazes me, all the things that I can see

        When I've gone walkin to slow down the pace of life.

There's no one I care to call, but I'd like to have a ball.

So tonight I'll have dinner in the food court at the mall.

Teenage girls on their phones, an old lady all alone.

I like it here cuz it's like a song of my very own.

        I've gone walkin' for a while, cuz it always makes me smile.

        Share a smile with strangers as they pass me by.

        It always amazes me, all the things that I can see

        When I've gone walkin to slow down the pace of life.

On this cold winters night.  I'm really feeling quite alright.

Think I'll head back home and call my lady tonight.

But there's just one thing more, before I end my walking tour.

Think I'll pick up some rainbow sherbet from the store.

        I've gone walkin' for a while, cuz it always makes me smile.

        Share a smile with strangers as they pass me by.

        It always amazes me, all the things that I can see

        When I've gone walkin to slow down the pace of life.
