Walkin' On Down The Road

Red Hot Chili Peppers · The Uplift Mofo Party Plan [1987]

Well I'm walking on down the road

But it can't be heaven

'Cause the streets aren't gold

And everybody knows what Bobby D was told

I'm walkin' on down the road



Groovin' a tune straight out of the womb

'Cause trust is a must to be a true blue dude

That's a matter of fact don't be confused

Everybody knows true friends are few



Everybody come in, everybody sing, sing my song

Everybody knows, everybody thinks, that I've done wrong

Everybody come in, everybody sing, sing my song



Well I'm walking on down the road

But it can't be heaven

'Cause the streets aren't gold

And everybody knows what Bobby D was told

And I'm walkin' on down the road



Like a momma bear hugs her baby bear cubs

A dude he can't lose when he lives on love

Like the bark on a tree

Like the skin on my knees

I'm standin' by my blood



Everybody come in, everybody sing, sing my song

Everybody knows, everybody thinks, that I've done wrong

Everybody come in, everybody sing, sing my song



Everybody come in, everybody sing, sing my song

Everybody knows, everybody thinks, that I've done wrong

Everybody come in, everybody sing, sing my song



Well I'm walking on down the road

But it can't be heaven

'Cause the streets aren't gold

And everybody knows what Bobby D was told

I'm walkin' on down the road

I'm walkin' on down the road

I'm walkin' on down the road
