Wouldn?t it be nice to walk together
Baring our souls while wearing out the leather
We could talk shop, harmonize a song
Wouldn?t it be nice to walk along
verse 2
I?ll show you houses of architectural renown
Some are still standing, some have fallen down
Farm houses buried under Canada?s snow
Spanish villas on the Boulevards of Mexico
verse 3
And I?ll learn to tell the ash from the oak
And if you don?t know, I won?t make no joke
We?ll climb to the top to view the world from above
Or carve our initials in the trunk, like teenagers in love
verse 4
And when we get hungry, we?ll stop to eat
Gotta think of our stomachs and rest our feet
And if we get thirsty, we?ll have a drink or two
In a mountain top bar with a mountain top view
Instrumental
Verse 5
And when we get tired, we?ll stop to rest
And if you still want to talk, you can bare your breast
If it?s Winter and cold, we?ll take a rooming-house room
If it?s Summer and warm, we?ll sleep under the moon
Verse 6
And we?ll talk about the sports we played
?Bout the time you got busted, or the times I got laid
We?ll talk blood and how we were bred
Talk about the folks, both living and dead
Verse 7
This song, like this walk, I find hard to end
Be my lover or be my friend
In sneakers or boots or regulation shoes
Walking beside you, I?ll never get the walking blues
