[Chorus]
N.C. F I’m walking down the line Bb F I’m walking down the li-ine Bb F I’m walking down the line Bb F My feet’ll be a flyin’ Bb F Bb F Bb To tell about my troubled mind F Bb F Bb F Bb F You should sing that. We'll try it

Wait a second, now. That's not where it's at, man.
N.C.
I mean, like, there's a lot of people here, man.
N.C.
I mean there's like a lotta people here
N.C.
And obviously, you're not walking down the line. I mean, you know.
N.C.
I mean you know, I mean when he wrote it, he probably wasn't
N.C.
walking down the line. .
N.C.
But you should sing it because sometime like you might be
N.C.
walking down, I mean like if, an earthquake hits California, man,
N.C.
And all not all the electricity goes and there's no more gasoline, you'll have to walk, you know,
N.C.
You might have to walk you know everywhere you're going
N.C.
You might, you know, want to sing this song, you might not.
N.C.
You might want to stay at home, but you could sing it
N.C.
Staying at home too!
N.C.
We'll do it again!
