Johnny was a jockey, he really knew how to ride

He was the king of hearts with a queen by his side

But darkness fell too soon one day uptown

Somebody couldn't feel his love and so he shot poor Johnny down



(He's got to) walk another mile

Walk on, walk on

(He's got to) walk another mile

Walk on, walk on

Sometimes it's hard to find a smile (walk on, walk on)

Before you get your reward you got to walk another mile

Walk on



I saw a woman in love standing in the rain

She wore a ribbon of blues, she could not hide her pain

'Cause the man she loved had to move along

Leaving all his little children behind to sing his song



(She's got to) walk another mile

Walk on, walk on

(She's got to) walk another mile

Walk on, walk on

Sometimes it's hard to find a smile (walk on, walk on)

Before you get your reward you got to walk another mile

Walk on



Some walk a mile as a beggar man

Some walk a mile as a king

Some ride in style, some crawl on the ground

But one thing's for sure, man, it all comes around



I can't remember for sure, but I believe what they say

That after you leave you travel home again some day

And the road is long with no end in sight

But you'll keep coming back until the wrongs are made right



(You got to) walk another mile

Walk on, walk on

(You got to) walk another mile

Walk on, walk on

Sometimes it's hard to find a smile (walk on, walk on)

Before you get your reward you got to walk another mile

Walk on
