Walking In Rhythm Lyrics
The Blackbirds
Lyrics
Walking in rhythm, movin' in sound
Hummin' to the music, trying to move on
I'm walking in rhythm, singin' my song
Thinkin' about my baby, tryin' to get home
Walking in rhythm, movin' in sound
Hummin' to the music, tryin' to move on
I'm walking in rhythm, singin' my song
Thinkin' about my baby, tryin' to get home
It's been so long since I've seen her
I'm tired and so all alone
I've traveled so very far
I've got to get back home
It's been so long since I've kissed her
And held her tight in my arms
I've got so far to go now
I've got to get back home, got to get back home
It's been so long since I've seen her
I'm tired and so all alone
I've traveled so very far
I've got to get back home
It's been so long since I've kissed her
And held her tight in my arms
I've got so far to go now
I've got to get back home, got to get back home
Walking in rhythm, movin' in sound
Hummin' to the music, tryin' to move on
I'm walking in rhythm, singin' my song
Thinkin' about my baby, tryin' to get home
I'm walking in rhythm, singin' my song
Thinkin' about my baby, tryin' to get home
I'm walking in rhythm, singin' my song
Thinkin' about my baby, tryin' to get home
