Walk Of Life Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Ander Knight 

Cover art for Walk Of Life lyrics by Dire Straits

First part of the song is about a guy on top of the world despite his somewhat pitiful surroundings. The second part emphasizes this more, and leads into the third part, in which the character falls from happiness. But at least he remembers the good times and that is the walk of life. I like the cajunish sound to it. Reminds me of my old Louisiana home.
