Walk Away

Written By: T.K. Durham


I grew up in a real small town
My daddy was seldom around
I was so young when I heard him say
“I may or may not be back tonight”
And then he walked away
And then he walked away

Daddy spent his life workin’ on the loadin’ docks
‘Cause that was all that he could do
One day daddy just didn’t come back
I guess he’d had enough too
So he walked away
Then he walked away

Momma sat me down in that kitchen chair
She said son sometimes life just ain’t fair
So listen close to what I say
Sometimes the best thing you can do...
Is walk away
Oh walk away
I heard her say... walk away

Late one night in a real small town
I saw a big man knock a pretty girl down
So I ran up and did the same to him
But he never got up again
I should’ve walked away
I should've walked away

As I looked down in her pretty bruised face
She looked up at me and quickly looked away
And so I asked her “Gonna be ok?”
She just whispered “I think…...
You better walk away…
You better walk away…..
I heard her say….
You better walk away

And as I did I felt so sad
‘Cause that was the last time I ever saw my dad
As I walked away…I walked away…
I walked away…I walked away…...
I grew up in a real small town
