WALKING THE BLUES
Words and music by Johnny Cash and Robert Lunn
As recorded by Johnny Cash on "The Legend" (2005)

Well I went down the store; I got some brand-new shoes.
I told 'em: "Make the leather tough; I gotta walk the blues."

CHORUS: Walkin the blues, I'm walkin the blues all day, all day long,
I'm wearin' out my shoes but I'm walkin' the blues away.

Well my baby's got a heart like a cold north wind.
I walk until I find 'er, bring 'er back again.

CHORUS: I'm walkin' the blues....

Well, now, the man down at the station, he won't even talk.
He said: "If you ain't got no money, boy, then you gotta walk."

CHORUS: That's why I'm walkin' the blues....
