Her cold clean air, it sets my boot heels on fire
But if I told you I’ve forgotten my past, I’d be a motherless liar
A woman of the street, a woman of the world
A hell-made model of the devil’s girl
I’m gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun
Well, she gave her heart to so many that shattered my world
Ah, but a man can’t ruin his life for the love of a girl
I’m gonna throw away my crutch, gonna run in the rain
Gonna let my nostrils swell with the nature of the plains
I’m gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun
Well, she loved so many men, my heart was breakin'
With every little kiss, well I’d be achin'
Yes, whatever I’ve be given to be taken
Ah, but a man can’t live when the story begins, begins to slip away
I’m gonna walk right down that road and never return
And not until these fires inside me are startin' to burn
Well, I don’t need a gal beside me or a gal to keep me warm
Or a gal that I can talk to 'til the early hours of morn'
I’m gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun
Well, I’m gonna walk on down that road and never return
And not until these fires inside me are startin' to burn
'Cause I don’t need a gal beside me or a gal to keep me warm
Or a gal that I can talk to 'til the early hours of morn'
I’m gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun
I’m gonna hold my head up high and take a walk in the sun
