O Please, Please, Please I’m begging on my knees
My feet are sore from walking, but my soul is on the breeze
If you don’t own no walking boots, I’ll have to say goodbye
I’d rather be a lonely man than lay down here and die
Ever since I can remember, the road has been my guide
But now my feet can’t move without you walking by my side
I curse your name in vain, cause your heart is part of mine
So let’s hit the open road tonight and leave this town behind
O Please, Please, Please I’m begging on my knees
My feet are sore from walking, but my soul is on the breeze
If you don’t own no walking boots, I’ll have to say goodbye
I’d rather be a lonely man than lay down here and die
Well I’m not the kind to live alone, but a flame’s under my feet
and my boots echo hollow down the sorrow of these streets
Let’s hit the open road tonight, with the moonlight shining down
There’ll be time enough to rest our feet, when we’re six feet in under ground
O Please, Please, Please I’m begging on my knees
My feet are sore from walking, but my soul is on the breeze
If you don’t own no walking boots, I’ll have to say goodbye
I’d rather be a lonely man than lay down here and die
Don’t wanna make fuss sweetheart, but you’re the one for me
You say my wayward ways will damn my soul eternally
Let’s walk away when the stars are out, I know you’ll see the light,
So if you want to save my soul let’s leave this town tonight
O Please, Please, Please I’m begging on my knees
My feet are sore from walking, but my soul is on the breeze
If you don’t own no walking boots, I’ll have to say goodbye
‘cause I’d rather be a lonely man than lay down here and die
So please, please, please, why won’t you come with me
If you just put your faith in love the road will set us free
This town ain’t gonna break me, but I cannot live a lie
You know I’ve got no love to give if I’m dead before I die
