Walking On The Ground
It started when they took and 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 meant for 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 airplains 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 the train like the good Lord intended
Like he meant for me and meant for you
I'm gonna ride on the train like the good Lord intended
Like the good Lord intended us to do
But trains and planes were just a start and pretty dogged on soon
They had a rocket ship just pointing straight up at the moon
Folks laughed and called it crazy and they hollard at the crew
"You'll never get it off the ground and even if you do"
I'm gonna fly on a plain like the good Lord intended
Like he meant for me and meant for you
I'm gonna fly on a plain 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've 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
We're gonna walk on the ground 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 meant for 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 airplains 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 the train like the good Lord intended
Like he meant for me and meant for you
I'm gonna ride on the train like the good Lord intended
Like the good Lord intended us to do
But trains and planes were just a start and pretty dogged on soon
They had a rocket ship just pointing straight up at the moon
Folks laughed and called it crazy and they hollard at the crew
"You'll never get it off the ground and even if you do"
I'm gonna fly on a plain like the good Lord intended
Like he meant for me and meant for you
I'm gonna fly on a plain 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've 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
We're gonna walk on the ground like the good Lord intended
Like the good Lord intended us to do
