I knew a woman, 
She was my friend, 
When we met I felt like 
I'd been born again 
Ah, we spent all our time outside 
'Cause people say small things 
when they stay too long in little rooms. 
In the sunshine In the rain or snow 
We even climbed a pinetree in a tornado 
Outside was where all our live was found 
And I guess we must have walked on every street in town. 
Every street in town, 
Every street in town, 
In the cool summer evenings 
Or when the snow was falling down, 
We'd go walkin' on every street in town. 

She'd been gone such a long, long time 
But it's often I feel her right there by my side 
When I'm walkin' I'm talkin' to her In the wet and yellow fall 
Or past the parks in the summer 
Where the kids is playin' ball 
An' it's sometimes I see a woman out alone 
An' she worried about gettin' back to her home 
An' I think of my friend and all of the joy that we found 
When we's just walkin' and talkin' on every street in town. 
An' I wonder when the day will every come 
When we won't be so sad and so dumb 
An' when a woman could walk out free in the day and night 
Without havin' to worry if she's gonna be alright on 
Every street in town, 
Every street in town, 
In the cool summer evenings 
Or when the snow was falling down, 
We'd go walkin' on every street in town.
