Long Walk To D.C.

It's a long walk to D.C.
But I've got my walking shoes on a way, a way
I can't take a plane, passer train
Because my money ain't that long (ooh ooh ooh)
America we believe (we believe)
Oh that you love us still (love us still)
So people I'm gonna be under (yeah)
To wipe away my tears

I'll tell ya, ooh yeah
It's a long walk to D.C. but I'm on, ooh, yes, I am
Ooh yeah, but I know I'll make it some day
I know it's a whole lot of rocks and rifts
Before I make it there (gotta keep moving on)
Should've been going on yesterday
But today I am a leaving here

I've got a dime for some coffee (yeah)
I got a dime to buy me a cake (oh yeah)
I gotta see the president no matter what it takes
I'll tell yah,
It's a long walk to D.C., yeah
But I'm lonely, oh yes I am ooh, yeah
But I know I'll make it some day

I know that it's a whole lots of rocks and rifts
Before I make it there (gotta keep moving on)
I should have been going on yesterday
But today I am a leaving here (keep moving on)
I've got a dime for some coffee (yeah)
Another dime to buy me a cake (ooh yeah)
I gotta see the president, no matter what it takes

I'll tell ya, it's a long walk to D.C. yeah
But I'm on, ooh, you don't need to hear me now
Ooh yeah, but I know I'll make it some day
I'm gonna step out of Jackson now (gotta keep moving on)
Our Mississippi town (I'm moving, moving)
Through Alabama (gotta keep moving on)
Haw, you know I'm Memphis bound (I'm moving, moving)
North Carolina (gotta keep moving on), Virginia too (I'm moving, moving)

I gotta set my feet now (gotta keep moving on)
On the national ground (I'm moving, moving), yeah
