I Walk The Woods

Intro

Mmm-mmm, yah, oh-oh, la-la

Skank down, la-la, yeah (come on)

Verse

He got a map drawn on a napkin, lighter in his jeans

Two sneakers on a dirt road, chasing lazy green

Sun on his shoulders, smile like a thief

Took a deep breath of the morning and he sighed relief

Clouds roll like cotton, breeze hums a tune

He tips his hat to a hawk, says, "See you soon"

Pocket full of snacks and a sun-bleached grin

Step by step he lets the day sink in

Pre-chorus

Leaf-laced rhythms, (yeah) foot on the trail

Smoke rings drifting like a lazy sail

Everything's easier when you move this slow

Let the river teach you what you need to know

Chorus

I walk the woods, I feel the sway, oh-oh (I feel it)

I walk the woods, I feel the sway, oh-oh (come on)

I walk the woods, breathe in deep, la-la (uh-huh)

I walk the woods, lost and found, yah-yeah (lost and found)

Verse

Moss under sneakers, mushrooms in a ring

A squirrel gives a nod like it's one of the kings

He hums along to the cricket choir

Strums air guitar with a twig for fire

Sunbeams patch his jacket, the creek does the rest

He waves at a willow and it bows its best

Laughter bubbles up from somewhere inside

No hurry, no schedule, just the roadside guide

Pre-chorus

Twine of green above, (mm) soft earth below

Every step a secret, every step a show

The world slows down when you learn to breathe slow

And the sky writes stories while the wind says go

Chorus

I walk the woods, I feel the sway, oh-oh (I feel it)

I walk the woods, I feel the sway, oh-oh (come on)

I walk the woods, breathe in deep, la-la (uh-huh)

I walk the woods, lost and found, yah-yeah (lost and found)

Bridge

Oh, jah, keep me steady, keep me light, keep me free

Skank the sun until the evening sings to me

(na-na-na) humming with the beetle's drum

(na-na-na) every step a little more undone

Chorus

I walk the woods, I feel the sway, oh-oh (I feel it)

I walk the woods, I feel the sway, oh-oh (come on)

I walk the woods, breathe in deep, la-la (uh-huh)

I walk the woods, lost and found, yah-yeah (lost and found)

I walk the woods, I feel the sway, oh-oh (I feel it)

I walk the woods, I feel the sway, oh-oh (come on)

Outro

Mmm-mmm, la-la, yah (walk with me)

La-la, oh-oh, fade out slow
