John Hiatt - Walk On Lyrics
Someone called out to youAnd it sounded just like cryingOn a street where nobodyEven knows your nameYour mind was getting high on the sweet airAs your spirit was flyingSteam rising from the sidewalksOf new orleans after an evening rainSteam rising from the sidewalksAfter an evening rainAnd it only made the heatFeel like it was walking even closerAs you headed up st. charlesTo catch a streetcar named desireYoung couple struggling in the doorwayLike he was trying to force herIn the distance you sworeYou could hear them open fireTires squealing in the distanceAs you heard them open fireChorus:Walk on, walk onDont look backDont ask questionsDont you try to understandWalk on, walk onStraight back down to your hotel roomWhere she lies waiting for her manYoure so afraid you might be losing loveThat is makes you worryAnd you wonder if shes ever seen thisKind of fear in youAnd you think of that young coupleIn the doorwayAnd it makes you hurryYou wonder what kind of fearThey might be living throughYeah you wonder ifThey saw that fear in youChorus
