Walk Tall Lyrics - John Mellencamp

The simple minded 

And the uninformed 

Can be easily led astray 

And those that cannot connect the dots 

Hey look the other way 

People believe what they want to believe 

When it makes no sense at all 

So be careful of those killing in Jesus's name* 

He don't believe in killing at all* 

Walk tall(Keep on walkin', Keep on talkin') 

Yeah walk on(Keep on walkin', Keep on talkin') 

Through this world 

Walk tall 

Somewhere out in the distance 

Is the death of you and me 

Even though we don't think of it much 

It's still out there for us to see 

If you treat your life like a bar room fight 

You'll die stinking of gin 

No drunkards are allowed in heaven 

No sinners will get in 

Walk tall(Keep on walkin', Keep on talkin') 

Yeah, walk on(Keep on walkin', Keep on talkin') 

Walk tall(Keep on walkin', Keep on talkin') 

Through this world 

Walk tall 

So be careful in what you believe in 

There's plenty to get you confused 

And in this land called paradise 

You must walk in many men's shoes 

Bigotry and hatred are enemies to us all 

Grace, mercy and forgiveness 

Will help a man walk tall 

So walk tall(Keep on walkin', Keep on walkin') 

Yeah, walk on(Keep on walkin', Keep on walkin') 

Walk tall(Keep on walkin', Keep on walkin') 

Through this world 

Through this world 

Yeah, walk tall(Keep on walkin', Keep on walkin') 

Then walk on(Keep on walkin', Keep on walkin') 

Walk tall(Keep on walkin', Keep on walkin') 

Then walk on(Keep on walkin', Keep on walkin') 

Through this world, through this world (Keep on walkin', Keep on walkin') 

Through this world, through this world (Keep on walkin', Keep on walkin') 

Walk tall(Keep on walkin', Keep on walkin') 

Walk tall(Keep on walkin', Keep on walkin') 

Then walk on(Keep on walkin', Keep on walkin') 

Walk tall
