Makes no difference what I say
I'll be free as free as a walk
Walk for a walk and never stop
Have some drinks in the afternoon
Call my old girl, I ask her why,
getting shorter every day,
makes no difference what I say
I'll be free, as free as I want,
go out for a walk and never stop
I need a friend that'll never quit,
stand by me through thin or thick
then come on over when I'm all alone
getting shorter every day
Makes no difference what I say
I'll be free, as free as a wonk
Walk for a walk and never stop
Someday I'll run out of luck
Out my back door, fall down plunk
In the grass mingling with the dirt
Dust thou art, dust thou art
Getting shorter every day
Makes no difference what I say
I'll be free, free as I want
Go out for a walk and never stop
Thought I'd saved enough to buy
Something I wanted my whole life
Next day a bill comes in the mail
Says I'd better pay it or I'm off to jail
Makes no difference what I say
I'll be free, as free as I want
Go out for a walk and nev er stop
So leave the furniture, leave the chores
Grab the dog, unlock the door
Day after day and month after month
I never seem to have enough
getting shorter every day
Makes no difference what I say
I'll be free, as free as I want
Go out for a walk and never stop
I'm out here doing the best I can
Though I know I'm just a man
Trying to give my family hope
From what I have and what I know
getting shorter every day
Makes no difference what I say
I'll be free, free as I walk
I'll walk before I walk and never stop
