Walk or Ride Lyrics

With just one kiss you could change the world
It might not be much better-- but it certainly couldn't hurt.
When you stomp your feet you aren't hurting me
But you're always killing something just by living on the Earth...

So who you supposed to listen to when you're looking for something to do?
And all the voices shut you up
-Someone put a brick in your coffee cup.-
When you're trying to decide whether to walk or to ride
Take the easy way you know that you want to


I saw an educated girl give her hair a twirl
And contemplate the meaning of a man with just one arm.
She's not a genius or a dunce, but it makes no difference
For at any moment we might find ourselves a charm.

But I'm feeling quite confused by the people who refuse
To see a simple way of life that don't make you the loser.
They say we won't make it far if we don't drive there in a car
But we'll be there with time to spare and find our own way home.

You might find the meaning of life in the barrel of a rifle
If it's pointed at a bird, or if it's pointed at your head.
Me, I'd rather plant a tree that grows up tall for all to see.
Until I need a pencil, then I'll chop it to the ground


At night falling down, will it make a sound?
Should I even wonder what it'd say?
It's so hard to change yourself, easier to tell someone else
That everything is going to be okay.
Oooh...

The Ditty Bops is a band from Los Angeles, California that play a blend of folk, bluegrass, jazz, swing music, ragtime and musical theater. They are headed by Abby DeWald (vocals and acoustic guitar) and Amanda Barrett (vocals, mandolin and dulcimer). They are noted for their excellent harmonies and generally playful style and tempo.

The Ditty Bops formed in New York City, when Abby and Amanda were on a hunt for a friend's lost cat. When they stumbled into the backyard of a stranger, they discovered that he was a musician and an avid guitar collector. He encouraged them to form a band and start playing. So began the Ditty Bops.

Abby and Amanda have been a couple since 1999.

The Ditty Bops appeared with Tori Amos in 2005 while promoting their first eponymous album. Since then they have released a second album, Moon Over the Freeway, and the freshly released Summer Rains Read more on Last.fm.
