Story behind the song

The walker was written about a gentleman in San Jose, California back in the 70's who could be seen along the highways, with his walking staff. He had to walk 20 miles a day because of his heart condition.

Lyrics

I'm walking down the road feeling fine
Well I'm walking down following the
Yellow line all the time
Well my fate is such that if I stop
It will be the end of the line

    So I keep on walking, to turn my life around
    And I keep on talking, yeah, in my mind

Well I don't know how long I can keep on going
So many miles I've been strollin'
People go, people pass, in their cars
Running late going fast

    So I keep on walking, to turn my life around
    And I keep on talking, yeah, in my mind

If I stop too long from my walking
I will never see the sun rise again
I must keep on this road that I must follow
Cause if I don't there will be no tomorrow

    So I keep on walking, to turn my life around
    And I keep on talking, yeah, in my mind
