lyrics

These old boots, They go walking
Through the woods everyday.
These old boots they go walking, and they take my pain away.
They're taking me away from whatever torments me today.
Oh these worn out soles they help me go, help me get real far away
As I keep on walking
As I keep on walking
As I keep on walking
As I keep on walking, walking away.

These ole knees, they go walking through the woods everyday.
Oh they creek and crack, but they take me back to a simpler time and place
Where we walked around and cherished the ground and had a freedom of space.
Yeah, I get more free with each bend of my knee
as we're walking away
As I keep on walking
As I keep on walking
Talking to the trees, grateful for the air that I breathe
That keeps me walking.

These ole hips, they go swaying, through the woods everyday.
Oh they dip and twirl, hold up this ole girl and they take me to pray!
Where the forest sings and freedom rings!
Oh, these hips they help me forget, forget about the pain
As I'm walking away!
I'm walking away!
From all this pain
From all this hate
I'm walking away.

These old boots,
These ole knees,
These ole hips, oh set me free!
These old boots,
These old knees,
Oh these old hips set me, set me, set me, set me free as I'm walking away!
I'm walking away
I'm walking away, walking, walking, walking, I'm walking away
From all this pain
From all this hate
From whatever modern complications that we face.

I'm a walking away.
