Lyrics

Walk Away ©2024 Gleeson and Moore

Your eyes sparkle at the mention of California
You want to feel the spotlight shining on you.
We grew up in a hollow in Kentucky.
The grass is not the only thing that’s blue

Since we met I thought we’d always be together
Now we’re standing at the crossroads of dreams and truths

Walk away, walk away
Just because you were born here
Doesn’t mean you have to stay
Walk away, you deserve so much more than a coal miner’s dollar to spend at the general store
Walk away, I’m begging you, please walk away, yes walk away


My heart’s already packed for California
Surprise! Your bags are packed too
I’m not saying say goodbye to Kentucky
A simple see ya later ought to do

Since we met I felt we’d always be together,
Now we’re standing at the crossroads of dreams and truths

Walk away, walk away
Just because you were born here
Don’t mean you have to stay
Walk away, you deserve so much more than a coal miner’s dollar to spend at the general store
Walk away, I’m begging you, please walk away, yes walk away

Walk away with me
Walk away now
Walk away darling
Leave this town
We can take each other’s reason for sticking around
Walk away with me, walk away, ahhhh please walk away
Walk away
Let’s walk away
