What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
A man came to our house
2
I believe it was yesterday
3
I would have invited him in
4
But I didn't have a lot to say
5
His anticipation of me opening the door
6
Outweighed my apprehension as it never had before
7
And drove my concentration
8
Right through that hardwood floor
9
Oo-oo a-ha
10
I'm taking a walk
11
I'm going outside
12
I'm taking a walk
13
I'm just getting by
14
There's a girl in the white house
15
I don't even know her name
16
Her disheveled appearance
17
Speaks volumes of shame
18
It's an embarrassing situation
19
But a situation just the same
20
The way she walks on others
21
And never takes the blame
22
Upsets my constitution
23
Beyond it's mortal frame
24
Oo-oo a-ha
25
I'm taking a walk
26
I'm going outside
27
I'm watching the birds
28
I'm just getting by
29
Found a card in the pocket
30
Of my worn out overalls
31
From a girl in Cedar Rapids
32
Now residing in Idaho Falls
33
I wish you could have been there
34
When she opened up the door
35
And looked me in the face
36
Like she never did before
37
I felt about as welcome
38
As a Wal-Mart Superstore
39
0o-oo - a-ha
40
I'm taking a walk
41
I'm going outside
42
I'm taking a walk
43
I don't need a ride
44
I'm watching the birds
45
Flying so high
