Early on a summer morning
And I rise up out of bed
(I) read the paper while I put the coffee on
I eat cereal for breakfast
Then put on my walkin' shoes
Go outside to greet the dawn
And walk down my country road
All the birds are up and singin'
And the grass is wet with due
(It) makes me happy and so glad to be alive
Then I see my neighbor comin'
And we tell each other 'hi'
As we pass each other by
Walkin' down my country road
When this world gets too much for me
And I need to get away
And I get to feelin' moody
And got nothin' good to say
(I) take a break from all my worries
And put on them walkin' shoes
Then go out and start to walk my blues away
Walkin' down my country road
Walkin' down my country road
Mr. Gardner's apple trees
Are lookin' mighty fine this year
I think I'll go and snag a ripe one off the vine
He makes the finest apple cider
That you'll ever find round here
I really hope he doesn't mind
As I walk down my country road
When this world gets too much for me
Summer, winter, spring, or fall
And I get to feelin' moody
(N') got no happy thoughts at all
(I) take a break from all my problems
Go and find them walkin' shoes
Then go out and start to walk my blues away
Walkin' down my country road
Walkin' down my country road
So if you're ever in my neighborhood
And you're runnin' low on smiles
Stop on by; I got the cure for city blues
We can share a cup of cider, sit on down, 'n talk a while
Then put on our walkin' shoes
And walk down my country road
Walkin' down my country road
Walkin' down my country road
