Keen On Walking

Did any of you folks across the pond happen to see the story of the guy who is walking from UK to Vietnam on a drunken bet?

Here's a link to the story:

And here's a link to the song it spawned:

This fog won’t last

I’ve been blinded before

I know I can trust the past

Won’t be long here I’m sure

And when it finally lifts

And I see the sun talking

My feet will be moving I’m keen on walking


The pain is arriving 

Feel the rumble in your feet

Climb on board find a seat

Or walk on and turn a cheek

One step at a time

Hear freedom calling

My feet are moving cuz I’m keen on walking



Till the end of the day

To the ends of the earth

Or just around the block

I’m keen to walk



Hear the wind callin

Can’t stand standin still

Heading for the horizon  

Until my feet get their fill

Can’t hear the clock ticking

Through the sound of the blowing

A dirt road is my longing I’m keen on walking


A thousand miles from here

There’s a place on my map

Hidden in the canyon

Down I steep winding path

Can’t get there driving

Can’t get there talking

One step at a time I’m keen on walking



Till the end of the day

To the ends of the earth

Or just around the block

Yeah I’m keen to walk


Watch me passing by

One step at a tiiiime

  • That's a wild dare! Rather him than me, though I'm sure he'll have stories to tell for the rest of his life.

    I liked the song. My favorite lines were:

    Can’t get there driving

    Can’t get there talking

    not only good lyrics, but they seem to really fit with the man himself.

    I had an idea that maybe your guitar could cut in and out - really high contrast. But you might need some other supporting instrument, bass or something, to make that work and keep the continuity. Or it might just sound crap!!

    Enjoyed it!

  • Cool little riff man , sounds good
