Walking Man Lyrics
You say jump, I say how high
Exactly you want me to jump to
And you say walk, I will walk
To the end of the line and back to you
My name is Steve and I'm your walking man
Yes, I am
You say boy, do you really love me?
Well, I ain't got much words to say
Let me write my answer
Down in the sand by the waves
My name is Steve and I'm your riding man
Yes, I am
My name is Steve and I'm your walking man
Yes, I am
If you want me to stay
I'll stash my sleeping roll under your bed
That says more than anything
In my life I ever said
My name is Steve and I'm your staying man
Yes, I am
My name is Steve and I'm your riding man
Yes, I am
My name is Steve and I'm your walking man
Yes, I am
Exactly you want me to jump to
And you say walk, I will walk
To the end of the line and back to you
Yes, I am
Well, I ain't got much words to say
Let me write my answer
Down in the sand by the waves
Yes, I am
My name is Steve and I'm your walking man
Yes, I am
I'll stash my sleeping roll under your bed
That says more than anything
In my life I ever said
Yes, I am
My name is Steve and I'm your riding man
Yes, I am
Yes, I am

A lovely tuneful song. About a guy oh comes and goes, realistically doesn't know how hell feel the next day about anything. Sung live to a female from the audience, he's saying he'll stay or all. Who knows. The question: "You say boy, do you really love me? Well, I ain't got much words to say Let me write my answer Down in the sand by the waves" His woman wants to be reassured of his commitment, but he's saying it's only words, the tide will wash them away, they may not be there soon. They are of the moment.
So he's a drifter, the most commitment he can give is to stash his gear under the bed. So he'll stay, but it's there if he wants to go.
I believe it's writing man, not riding
