[intro – jangly guitar riff, drums join in steady] I’ve been talkin’ ‘bout changes for a long, long time, But the road don’t get shorter ‘less these feet hit the line. I’ve been drawin’ up plans in the back of my mind, Guess it’s time I take ‘em out for a drive. [verse 1 – relaxed but steady delivery] All those words I’ve been throwin’ around, Ain’t worth much if they don’t leave town. You can’t cross the river with a map in your hand, Gotta get wet if you wanna reach land. [chorus – warm harmonies] What you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you say. So I’m gonna keep on movin’, One mile more each day. Yeah, I’m walkin’ it out, That’s the only way. [verse 2 – steady groove continues] I’ve been the king of “I’ll start next week,” But the crown’s too heavy when the throne’s that weak. The sun’s gonna rise and the sun’s gonna fall, Only question is if I’ll stand tall. [chorus – repeat with extra harmony] What you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you say. So I’m gonna keep on movin’, One mile more each day. Yeah, I’m walkin’ it out, That’s the only way. [bridge – softer, almost spoken over guitars] Ain’t no shortcut I can see, Just the long road carryin’ me. And I’m fine takin’ it slow, Long as I know… [final chorus – fuller band, bright harmonies] What you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you say. So I’m gonna keep on movin’, One mile more each day. Yeah, I’m walkin’ it out, That’s the only way. [outro – guitar riff fades with gentle drum hits]
