Walkin' round in Tennessee and I’m a feelin' kinda blue

Got grease stains on my hands and pants and a picture here of you

I'd like to go and get away and fall in to your arms

But I have to keep on walking till I feel safe from harm

There’s a way to get there quicker but my money’s all been spent

I know there’s no one left to call unless I call collect

So I walk head down and on and on

Just thinkin' bout the man

Who never gave up hope through all the pages that I read

Manfred says his only goal’s to take on all the world

And I can’t even find my way to the one and only girl

No, I can’t even find my way to the one and only girl

Well fifteen miles later and depression's made a home

Inside this head and heart of mine the garbage and the stones

I’ve walked this far before I thought, but that was years ago

When the Army told me all I need is a paycheck and a bone

So I’m feeling like a dog alone in this world here of mine

I lost control of both my legs and all my sense of time

It doesn’t really matter cause I got no where to be

No God-dang way to get there if I wanted anyway

Well Manfred says his only goal is to take on all the world

And I can’t even find my way to the one and only girl

No, I can’t even find my way to the one and only girl

If Manfred would possess my soul I know that she’d be mine

I'd die a minute later in my fight against the world

I’d die a minute later walking round here with that girl
