Lyrics
How Do I Walk In This World?
Co-Written by Steve Turner & Doyle Turner
V1 - Lay on the lawn at twilight, eyes on the stars
the sky its own forever, and yet somehow this was ours
white t-shirt and blue jeans, a voice rumbling low
searching constellations, you showed me where to go, where to go
V2 - Didn’t know what I was supposed to be, ‘til I wished upon your beam
thought your grin would glow forever, shining down on me
You were my North Star. Did you even know?
Wanted to know you better, now I walk alone, I walk alone
Chorus
Fishing poles need water
Old trucks need young men at the wheel
Sons need a hand on a shoulder
I sure could use you here
How do I walk in this world?
V3 - Spark of laughter in your eyes, as you legged your stories home
The songs you sang that grew me up, made me feel “not so alone”
a path through the early hours, toes out tracks in the morning dew
I’d follow your footsteps anywhere, pray they lead me back to you, lead me back to you
V4
Lost in the space you left, love as easy as the wind
Guide my steps, Manidoo, I pray once again
Don’t know what I’m supposed to be, just a simple broken heart
Lay down in the backyard, look for you in these stars
Chorus
Gichii-Manidoo-Odoozhitoon
