Well I just heard it the other day My little lady got things she don't say In front of me and I'm not to proud She tells her friends my name is walking cloud Well it sounds to me like an indian name And I'm not so sure that I want my fame To hinge on the fact that I'm a bad egg She says I'm like a big black cloud on legs Well I'm not so bad I must defend myself I like dogs and birds and records on the shelf Well it's a crazy mixed up life When it's hard for man and wife To get along in a crowd When you're walking cloud Well I guess I can be such a bitter old f** And it's true that I've fallen on some pretty hard luck But I think she's forgetting all the things we vowed Ain't it wrong to call your man a walking cloud? Cause I'm not so bad I must defend myself I like dogs and birds and records on the shelf Well it's a crazy mixed up life When it's hard for man and wife To get along in a crowd When you're walking cloud Well I just heard it the other day My little lady got things she don't say In front of me and I'm not to proud She tells her friends my name is walking cloud
