Usually I write the lyrics and figure out the melody later.Not so,on this song.At first glimpse it seems rather simplistic.It may be,but if sung with the gusto I've got in mind,it would move mountains.Here's what I had in mind;the line,"Walk On Down"is the overture,everybody would be singing and playing,hitting the "one"and "three"with semi-open hi-hat,snare smacking down hard!!The next line;sung/played by the lead vocals but with almost a whisper-ish fashion.You know,Contrasting lines.One hard and heavy,the next nice and cool.Hopefully some of you will get this!!
Walking Shoes Blues
******************
When I'm sick of
T.V. News
When I'm tired of
Pills and booze
Look in the corner
For my shoes
Walk,walk,walk away
Them blues
Walk On Down
Everything will be all right
Walk On Down
Tomorrows just another day
Walk On Down
Just walk them blues away
Walk On Down
Just get yourself some walking shoes
When I'm tired of
Paying those dues
When I've got nothing
Left to lose
Look in the corner
For them shoes
Walk,walk,walk away
Them blues
Walk On Down
Everything will be all right
Walk On Down
Tomorrows just another day
Walk On Down
Just walk them blues away
Walk On Down
Just get yourself some walking shoes
