A Walk In The Sun
The Turtles
A WALK IN THE SUN As recorded by The Turtles (From the 1965 Album IT AIN’T ME BABE) [Intro] [Verse 1] The cold clean air it sets my boot heels on fire But if I told you I’ve forgotten my past I’d be a motherless liar A woman of the street a woman of the world A hell-made model of the devil’s girl I’m gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun [Verse 2] Well she gave her heart to so many that shattered my world Ah but a man can’t ruin his life for the love of a girl I’m gonna throw away my crutches gonna run in the rain Gonna let my nostrils swell with the nature of the plains I’m gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun [Bridge] Well she loved so many men my heart was breakin’ With every little kiss well I’d be achin’ Yet whatever I’ve be given to be taken Ah but a man can’t live when the story begins begins to slip away [Verse 3] I’m gonna walk right down that road and never return And not until these fires inside me are startin’ to burn ’Cause I don’t need a gal beside me or a gal to keep me warm Or a gal that I can talk to ’til the early hours of morn’ I’m gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] Well I’m gonna walk on down that road and never return And not until these fires inside me are startin’ to burn ’Cause I don’t need a gal beside me or a gal to keep me warm Or a gal that I can talk to ’til the early hours of morn’ I’m gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun I’m gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun [Outro]
