Walk Away lyrics

Shut off the TV 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 stood up 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 the 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
