Django Walker - Modern Day Bojangles Lyrics

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
