Walkin The Walk

Remember growin up in the

rough tumble inner city

Our growin up generation none

of that gang killigsjust raw

everyday raw down survival

that was the common nitty gritty

Food on the table both parents

a place to stay not taken for granted

thats how we grew up no cars no bicycles

plenty playgrounds

Itwas all about them legs and feets

when it came to gettin around

city bus in the mix sometime

Stay home city bus or walk

One neve really knew what older

folks meant when they say the

good ole days never knew til

old and grey good ole days

Recall in early 1970s straight out of the Army

straight out of Nam no car my cousin and I walked

everywhere this was a favorite song then still is some 50 years later

Walking In Rhythm Blackbyrds love this song as always movin in sound youtube got it
