I'll Soon Be Walking
Big city with the young girls walking
Been wearing dirty shirts and stockings
Got thirty-five cents in my pocket
But that won't quite cut it for laundry day
Yeah, I got no money, but that's okay.
I been walking alone all weekend
Go to town but don't feel like leaving
With anybody asking and pleading
For something that won't make it anyway
Yeah I got nobody, but that's okay.
​
"Cause I'm living where the moon is shining
Through the pouring rain
Stay up all night,
Sleep half the day.
Yeah, I'm living where the hills are shining
Under sunny rays
Don't need anybody
Making any shade.
​
And it's hard to say
If he's worth wanting
He never pays and does too much talking
And if he stays
I'll soon be walking anyway
​
I keep roaming around, keep rambling
These random roommates are like gambling
I could always move back with the family
But I'll just keep wandering from place to place
Yeah I got no remedy, but that's okay.
​
'Cause I'm living where the moon is shining
Through the pouring rain
Stay up all night,
Sleep half the day.
Yeah, I'm living where the hills are shining
Under sunny rays
Don't need anybody
Making any shade.
​
And it's hard to say
If he's worth wanting
He never pays and does too much talking
And if he stays
Well, I'll soon be walking anyway
​
And I know you say you want me
But I just don't feel the same
And I know you say you love me
But I'm just sittin' in the car unfazed.
