Walk On Lyrics - John Hiatt

Someone called out to you 

And it sounded just like crying 

On a street where nobody 

Even knows your name 

Your mind was getting high on the sweet air 

As your spirit was flying 

Steam rising from the sidewalks 

Of New Orleans after an evening rain 

Steam rising from the sidewalks 

After an evening rain 

And it only made the heat 

Feel like it was walking even closer 

As you headed up St. Charles 

To catch a streetcar named Desire 

Young couple struggling in the doorway 

Like he was trying to force her

In the distance you swore 

You could hear them open fire 

Tires squealing in the distance 

As you heard them open fire 

CHORUS: 

Walk on, walk on 

Don't look back 

Don't ask questions 

Don't you try to understand 

Walk on, walk on 

Straight back down to your hotel room 

Where she lies waiting for her man 

You're so afraid you might be losing love 

That is makes you worry 

And you wonder if she's ever seen this 

Kind of fear in you 

And you think of that young couple 

In the doorway 

And it makes you hurry 

Photos 

You wonder what kind of fear 

They might be living through 

Yeah you wonder if 

They saw that fear in you 

REPEAT CHORUS
