about

Here in Traditional Blues week – I tried to think of pure tragedy. I’ve often thought that if and when true tragedy were to strike me, I can only think that I would get out on the highway and just walk and I don’t know if I would be able to stop. Our friend Forrest Gump did just that when he lost his mother. Neil Peart did it only he did it on a motorcycle. Many animals will wander away when they know their time has come. I think there may be similar instinct in men that when faced with ultimate loss, you simply walk away because it’s all you can come up with. Hope you enjoy.

lyrics

Walkin’ Away

When I look outside my window
And all I see is pain
And the emptiness before me is all that remains

The only drive I can muster
Is to walk right out that door
And I’ll just keep on walkin’ til I can’t walk no more

Walkin’ Away
You know I just can’t stay in one place anymore
Walkin’ Away
There’s nothing left for me anymore
Walkin’ Away
And I just can’t be reminded
Well there ain’t no road that’ll take me far enough
So I keep Walkin’ Away

All the memories they chase me
And I just can’t get away
Yet my feet they never tire, day after day

As the souls on my shoes
They slowly disappear
It’s my soul that’s left in tatters now that you’re not here

Walkin’ Away
Though the memories never fade
Walkin’ Away
Since they’ve carried you away
Walkin’ Away
And I just can’t be reminded anymore
Cause there ain’t no road that’ll take me far enough
So I’m Walkin’, Walkin’ Away

Now you know
When you see
The people out on the highway just walkin’ and starin’ ahead
They might’ve lost
Somethin’ sweet
And now their feet just keep takin’ them further down the road
To search for some
Kind of peace
And that’s just what’s happenin’ to me
And I don’t know what’s come over me
But there’s only one place I can be

Walkin’ Away
And I just can’t stay in one place anymore
Walkin’ Away
It’s the last thing I know how to do
Walkin’ Away
And I just can’t be reminded anymore
There ain’t no road that can take me far enough
So I’m walkin’, Walkin’ Away

Just gotta keep on walkin’
Walkin’ Away
