Django Walker - Modern Day Bojangles lyrics

rate me

He’s a modern day Bojangles and his mind became tangled

Talking to the pigeons and the people passing by

Now the hookers and the holy men the y both tried to save him

But everything they talked of seemed to sound just like a lie

He’s a dancing from the southland and he’s proud to take a home stand

Against this big old city that keeps looking over time

Chorus

And you keep on dancing

Keep on rolling time away

Life’s not a waltz it’s a faster pace

Keep on two stepping through it all

How you live your life’s your own damn call

His daddy held the key to happiness in his soul

Promised that he’d pass it down when he got too old

But a stranger came along one day and took his heart away

Always thought that dancing would ring him back someday

And you keep on dancing

Keep on rolling time away

Life’s not a waltz it’s a faster pace

Keep on two stepping through it all

How you live your life’s your own damn call

setting on the curbside and his memories tend to fade

Pigeons they all sing the songs and the people turn away

Now he’s keeping the hookers and the holy men at bay

They say dance for me Bojangles and he doesn’t hesitate

And you keep on dancing

Keep on rolling time away

Life’s not a waltz it’s a faster pace

Keep on two stepping through it all

How you live your life’s your own damn call
