Walk Away
shut off the t.v. and peel off those sunday gloves,
and i'll stain the clean that you've been counting,
old mr. fletcher passed by here today,
after 40 years of toil he just upped and walked away
fantastic the panic that showed in his eyes,
he shrugged when i asked him about it,
he said "young man pay heed, you listen well to what i say,
now there comes a time for a man to walk away"
walk away, i'll be a parade,
and i'll be determined that no one shall dissuade
on my way, i'll sure take some time
and burn all the bridges that i'm leaving behind,
he passed by again and he was shivering from cold,
i'm not sure but i think that he was trying,
he told me about the weather and something old to pay,
"but tomorrow", he said, "i'm gonna surely walk away"
walk away, i'll be a parade,
and i'll be determined that no one shall dissuade
on my way, i'll take my sweet time
and burn all the bridges that i'm leaving behind
walk away, i'll be a parade,
and i'll be determined that no one shall dissuade
