Rehab - Kept On Walking lyrics

[Verse 1] I woke up early this morning Went downtown and I got a cup of coffee Drink it on up then I got a little jumpy Then I had a thought that I can't remember Walked around town looking down at my shadow Pick up a nickel older than I Gave it to a man who needed a shot of liquor I could tell by the look in his eye Walking around the bus station I saw a young girl Couldn't have been older than 13 Smoking a cigarette pregnant and barefoot I said "Hello" she said "The world is mean" [Hook] So I kept on walking Taking in the scenery Observing everything And what it means to me Could it be as simple As me just being me Looking for sweet Conformation So I kept on walking [Verse 2] To the hardware store Asked the manager for an application And on the way out I threw it in the trash cuz Something in my head said just be patient I saw a bunch of birds on top of the court house Sitting on the edge all in a row If I didn't know better I'd swear they were watching me I think I heard a bird tell another there he goes Then saw a mannequin in the window The prettiest woman that I've ever seen Wearing a green dress and beautiful string of pearls She wasn't interested in me [Hook] So I kept on walking Taking in the scenery Observing everything And what it means to me Could it be as simple As me just being me Looking for sweet Conformation So I kept on walking [Verse 3] To a seat on a bench on the corner Took a little rest beneath the shady tree 'Long came an old lady with a walking cane And she sat down next to me. She said Hey there dreamer how are you doing? Said the doc told her she's 'bout to die And yet she comes here everyday about this time Just to watch the world pa** by Gave me a nickel and said this is a fortune Lit a cigarette and said the world is mean Just be patient the birds on the courthouse Serve a purpose like you and me Then I got up and said thank you kindly The the sun broke through the trees And as I turn to walk away she said hey [?] Don't worry 'bout the mannequin she can't see [Hook] So I kept on walking Taking in the scenery Observing everything And what it means to me Could it be as simple As me just being me Looking for sweet Conformation So I kept on walking So I kept on walking So I kept on walking So I kept on walking So I kept on walking So I kept on walking So I kept on walking So I kept on walking
