John Mellencamp Walk Tall Lyrics

Walk Tall Lyrics



The simple minded 

And the uninformed

Can be easily led astray

And those that cannot connect the dots

Hey look the other way

People believe what they want to believe

When it makes no sense at all

So be careful of those killing in Jesus's name*

He don't believe in killing at all*

Walk tall

Yeah walk on

Through this world

Walk tall

Somewhere out in the distance

Is the death of you and me

Even though we don't think of it much

It's still out there for us to see

If you treat life like a bar room fight

You'll die stinking of gin

No drunkards are allowed in heaven

No sinners will get in

Walk tall

Yeah, walk on

Walk tall

Through this world

Walk tall

So be careful in what you believe in

There's plenty to get you confused

And in this land called paradise

You must walk in many men's shoes

Bigotry and hatred are enemies to us all

Grace, mercy and forgiveness

Will help a man walk tall

So walk tall

Yeah, walk on

Walk tall

Through this world

Through this world

Yeah, walk tall

Then walk on

Walk tall

Then walk on

Through this world

Through this world

Through this world

Through this world

Walk tall

Walk tall

Then walk on

Walk tall
