Lyrics Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler

Walk of Life

Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies

Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say

Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman

Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay

He got the action, he got the motion

Yeah the boy can play

Dedication devotion

Turning all the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman

He do the song about the knife

He do the walk, he do the walk of life

Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story

Hand me down my walkin' shoes

Here come Johnny with the power and the glory

Backbeat the talkin' blues

He got the action, he got the motion

Yeah the boy can play

Dedication devotion

Turning all the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman

He do the song about the knife

He do the walk, he do the walk of life

Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies

Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say

Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman

Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay

He got the action, he got the motion

Yeah the boy can play

Dedication devotion

Turning all the night time into the day

And after all the violence and double talk

There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife

You do the walk, you do the walk of life
