A man came to our house
I believe it was yesterday
I would have invited him in
But i didn't have a lot to say

His anticipation
Of me opening the door
Outweighed my apprehension
As it never had before
And drove my concentration
Right through that hardwood floor

I'm taking a walk
I'm going outside
I'm taking a walk
I'm just getting by

There's a girl in the white house
I don't even know her name
Her disheveled appearance
Speaks volumes of shame

It's an embarrassing situation
But a situation just the same
The way she walks on others
And never takes the blame
Upsets my constitution
Beyond its mortal frame

I'm taking a walk
(taking a walk)
I'm going outside
(going outside)

I'm watching the birds
(taking a walk)
I'm just getting by
(just getting by)

Found a card in the pocket
Of my worn out overalls
From a girl in cedar rapids
Now residing in idaho falls

I wish you could've been there
When she opened up the door
And looked me in the face
Like she never did before
I felt about as welcome
As a wal-mart superstore

I'm taking a walk
(taking a walk)
I'm going outside
(going outside)

I'm taking a walk
(taking a walk)
I don't need a ride
(just getting by)

I'm watching the birds
(taking a walk)
Flying so high
(going outside)
