Lyrics
6. WALK ON
22 hundred miles and a walking cane,
Springer Mountain, Georgia, up to Katahdin, Maine.
This Appalachian Trail or Pacific Crest,
Trails calling, it’s our quest.
Each step sips beauty like fine wine,
A stroll with your lover through time.
Flowers toss colors everywhere,
Like a mountain sunrise dancing in your hair.
Chorus:
Walk on, walk on my friend,
Find a sunrise comin’ ‘round the bend.
Warm sunshine greets you like a friend.
Walk on, walk on.
There’s something special in these big trees and old mountains.
Take your tired feet and cares to that fountain.
You’ll meet someone you love deep within,
Walking right next to your heartbeat once again.
(Chorus)
I have a friend; we walk sometimes,
Tell stories, talk about old times.
Where’ve you been, I could sure use a smile.
Won’t you walk with me for a while?
(Chorus)
