Schwa Lyrics

Walk Real Slow

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

Daddy sat me down, way back in '65
Ten years on the lam, no money to survive
He said, " I gotta' leave you, right here on your own
You'll be better off that way, you won't miss me when I'm gone"

Momma always told me it would come to that one day
"He's a no good two bit criminal", that's what his friends would say
Now it's just me and my guitar, and one thing he said you should know
He said, "You picked a fine line, walk real slow"
He said, "You picked a fine line, walk real slow"

I spent all my time just writing songs
A few years, a few breaks later, I was playing night in, night out, all year long
The one thing I always remembered, the most important thing I know
He said, "You picked a fine line, walk real slow"
He said, "You picked a fine line, walk real slow"

It's been so many years now, I've had my ups and downs
The songs they don't come as easily, but the ones that do, you know their sound
The kids they were always asking me "Do you have anything to show?"
I say, "You picked a fine line, walk real slow"
I say, "You picked a fine line, walk real slow"
