Walk of Life
Walk of Life is a 1985 song by the British rock band Dire Straits. It appeared on their best-selling album Brothers In Arms. It subsequently appeared on their live album On The Night.
The song was nearly not included on the album when the co-producer Neil Dorfsman voted against its inclusion, but the rest of the band out-voted him.
A simple rock 'n' roll rhythm is used, with chord changes limited to the famous I, IV and V chords. The lyrics reference oldies, including Be Bop A Lula and What'd I Say.
