- Walking On The Ground LyricsIt started when they hitched the boiler to a wheel
And made the mechanism run along on rails of steel
But there were lots of people who would never ride the train
They said it was the devil's work and chanted this refrain
I'm gonna walk on the ground like the good lord intended
Like he meant for me and you
I'm gonna walk on the ground like the good lord intended
Like the good lord intended us to do
It wasn't long before they figured out a way to fly
And there were airplanes zooming every which way in the sky
Folks said
If man was meant to fly he'd have a pair of wings
You'll never get me up in one of them confounded things
I'm gonna ride on a train like the good lord intended
Like he meant for me and meant for you
I'm gonna ride on a train like the good lord intended
Like the good lord intended us to do
But trains and planes were just a start
And pretty doggone soon
They had a rocket ship just pointing straight up at the moon
Folks laughed and called it crazy
And they hollered at the crew
You'll never get it off the ground and even if you do
I'm gonna fly on a plane like the good lord intended
Like he meant for me and meant for you
I'm gonna ride on a train like the good lord intended
Like the good lord intended us to do
They're gone now all those things
At which the people used to scoff
And so are all the people
Since that cobalt bomb went off
There's just a handful of us left
To start the world anew
And we're agreed on one thing that we all are gonna do
We're gonna walk on the ground like the good lord intended
Like he meant for me and meant for you
I'm gonna ride on a train like the good lord intended
Like the good lord intended us to do
And made the mechanism run along on rails of steel
But there were lots of people who would never ride the train
They said it was the devil's work and chanted this refrain
I'm gonna walk on the ground like the good lord intended
Like he meant for me and you
I'm gonna walk on the ground like the good lord intended
Like the good lord intended us to do
It wasn't long before they figured out a way to fly
And there were airplanes zooming every which way in the sky
Folks said
If man was meant to fly he'd have a pair of wings
You'll never get me up in one of them confounded things
I'm gonna ride on a train like the good lord intended
Like he meant for me and meant for you
I'm gonna ride on a train like the good lord intended
Like the good lord intended us to do
But trains and planes were just a start
They had a rocket ship just pointing straight up at the moon
Folks laughed and called it crazy
And they hollered at the crew
You'll never get it off the ground and even if you do
I'm gonna fly on a plane like the good lord intended
Like he meant for me and meant for you
I'm gonna ride on a train like the good lord intended
Like the good lord intended us to do
They're gone now all those things
At which the people used to scoff
And so are all the people
Since that cobalt bomb went off
There's just a handful of us left
To start the world anew
And we're agreed on one thing that we all are gonna do
We're gonna walk on the ground like the good lord intended
Like he meant for me and meant for you
I'm gonna ride on a train like the good lord intended
Like the good lord intended us to do
