Walk Easy, Stranger

[Verse 1] Walk easy, stranger, the road runs slow, Dust on your shoes where the night winds blow. Leave your troubles by the old church gate, Nobody living gets to choose the date. [Refrain] Walk easy, walk easy, Lay that heavy burden down. Walk easy, walk easy, We’ll see you when the road comes ’round. [Verse 2] Bell quit ringing, but the drum rolls on, Moon keeps watch till the mourners are gone. If Heaven won’t have you and Hell says wait, Pull up a chair—we’ll leave on a plate. [Refrain] Walk easy, walk easy, Lay that heavy burden down. Walk easy, walk easy, We’ll see you when the road comes ’round. [Outro — almost a hymn] Go where the river knows your name, Go where the lost don’t carry shame. No need for wings, no need for crown— Walk easy, friend. We’ll see you around.
