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 sayHis anticipation Of me opening the door Outweighed my apprehension As it never had before And drove my concentration Right through that hardwood floorI'm taking a walk I'm going outside I'm taking a walk I'm just getting byThere's a girl in the White House I don't even know her name Her disheveled appearance Speaks volumes of shameIt'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 frameI'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 FallsI 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 SuperstoreI'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)
